D. Titian

Answer 1

Hint: The Last Supper and Monalisa are considered among the most famous paintings all over the world. The painter of these two is known for his specialization in different fields such as paintings, inventions, architecture, etc.

Complete answer:
> The Last supper (1495-98) and Monalisa (believed to have painted between 1503 and 1519) are a real masterpiece created by Leonardo da Vinci, a natural genius who epitomized the term “Renaissance man” for his notable discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, geology, optics, and hydrodynamics but he never published his findings.
> Today, he is well known for his knowledge of art and paintings which he thought to have explicitly related to science and nature. Leonardo’s masterpiece ‘The Last Supper’ is a depiction of Christ’s final meal with his apostles before his arrest by the authorities.
> This painting holds the beautiful scene of a moment persisting high tension with Christ and his 12 disciples when Jesus says, “One of you will betray me.”
> All of the disciples got agitated after hearing this from Jesus and they all may be seen with faces full of love, fear, or grief at not being able to understand the meaning behind Jesus’s saying.
> On the other hand, Christ, aware of his divine mission, sits silently and lonely and Judas, who shares the secret knowledge can be seen as a guilty figure.
> The painting ‘Monalisa’ is perhaps the most recognized painting all over the world and is an icon of the Renaissance.
> The woman in the painting is considered to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Gioconda, a Florentine merchant. Leonardo painted this when he was living in Florence and now, this painting is a part of the Louvre Museum, in Paris and hangs there as an object of pilgrimage in the 21st century.

Therefore, the correct option is Option (C).

Note: Recently, a copy of Monalisa was discovered in the collection of the Prado in Madrid which gives an idea of how the painting might look like after the layers of yellow varnish were removed. It was likely to be painted by another artist along with Leonardo and copied his work.
