Explanation:

The painting shown is The Holy Family (Doni Tondo), created by Michelangelo. He was renowned for his mastery of modeling, a technique that uses light and shadow to create the illusion of three-dimensional form in figures, which is evident in the sculptural, lifelike figures of this work. The other options are incorrect: Géricault is known for Romantic works, Turner for landscape and light effects, and Correggio for sfumato (a soft blending technique not characteristic of this piece).

Answer:

b. (1) Michelangelo; (2) modeling
