in raphaels portrait of bindo altoviti, altoviti is shown in:
a. movement against a plain background.
b. an elaborately symbolic religious scene.
c. a stiff and majestic sitting position.
d. classical dress in a roman scene.

Explanation:

Raphael's Portrait of Bindo Altoviti depicts the subject in a dynamic, contrapposto pose (showing movement) set against a simple, plain dark background. Option B is incorrect as it is a secular portrait, not a religious scene. Option C is wrong because the figure's posture is relaxed and active, not stiff. Option D is incorrect as Altoviti wears contemporary Renaissance clothing, not classical dress in a Roman setting.

Answer:

A. movement against a plain background.
