41. D: A gisant, French for recumbent, is a reclining sculptured form that lies on the lid of a deceased person’s tomb. A glory is the general term for the representation of light around a sacred person, and this could be around the whole person or just around their head. Some names for it are aureole, halo, nimbus, and mandorla. These are often depicted in religious artworks, specifically, with saints and holy persons.

42. A: Silver point is a drawing method that involves using a silver-tipped drawing instrument, or a rod of fine silver in a wooden holder, on a specially coated paper. This method was first used on manuscripts by medieval scribes. The paper or surface could be coated by rabbit-skin glue, chalk, or lead white. Modern supports could be coated by gesso or gouache. The coating gives the support more tooth and helps give the drawing a darker value than on unprepared paper.

43. D: Restoration describes the return of a building to its original condition, or as close to original as possible. Renovation is the upgrading of a building with restoring its original features, while also including some contemporary needs. Preservation describes the prevention of the destruction or deterioration of a building, and conservation is a term applied to restoring artwork to its original condition, or as closely as possible.

44. B: Paleolithic artists had a few colors available to them, including brown, black, red, yellow, and white. These colors were created from pigments using earth and charcoal mixed with animal fat and saliva. The colors could depend on the mineral content of the rocks and soil nearby. Blue was made in later times out of lapis lazuli, ultramarine, and cobalt, and then later it was made synthetically.

45. C: A pagoda is a multistory tower with multiple eaves, found in South or East Asia. It is usually related to a Buddhist temple. The structure is derived from the stupa of India, which symbolized a sacred mountain. A tall, four-sided stone pillar with a pyramidal top is an obelisk. A small, dome-like structure on top of a building is a cupola. A rectangular terraced temple in ancient Mesopotamia is a ziggurat.

46. C: Although the Classical period of Greek sculpture showed more realistic anatomy, the poses were still stiff and unnatural, as shown with the Venus de Milo’s asymmetrical stance. The Hellenistic period of Greek sculpture was the pinnacle of naturalism and expressive movement, as shown in many examples including Laocoön and His Sons.

47. A: Outsider art is art created by artists who are self-taught and who work outside of the mainstream art world. Their work may be discovered after their death. Outsider art might be created by people who are mentally ill or by those who are untrained and aspire to create art. Other terms for outsider art include art brut, raw art, naive art, folk art, and marginal art. Folk art can be associated with peasant communities.

48. A: The commodification of art is the creation of artwork into marketable works that can be bought and sold.
