"The Virgin of the Rocks" is the masterpiece of which painter ?
Answer: C
The Virgin of the Rocks is by Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo painted it for the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception in Milan. Two versions exist: the earlier one, of about 1483-86, is in the Louvre in Paris, and the later one, finished around 1508, is in the National Gallery in London. It shows the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, the infant John the Baptist and an angel in a rocky grotto, and is a classic example of Leonardo's soft shading (sfumato).
Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian were the other great masters of the High Renaissance, known for works such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling, The School of Athens and Assumption of the Virgin, but this painting is Leonardo's.
