question 7 of 10
look at da vincis virgin of the rocks. this painting demonstrates his use of which painting technique?
a. foreshortening
b. worms-eye view
c. aerial perspective
d. sfumato

Explanation:

Sfumato is a technique developed by da Vinci, characterized by blending colors and edges seamlessly to create soft, hazy transitions, which is evident in Virgin of the Rocks in the muted, blurred details of figures and background. Foreshortening involves distorting objects to show perspective, worm's-eye view is a low-angle perspective, and aerial perspective uses color/value shifts for depth (different from sfumato's soft blending).

Answer:

D. Sfumato
