Answer 1

The artwork "Entombment of Christ" by Jacopo da Pontormo is a crowded anti-classical composition with no clear focal point and a lack of pyramidal/geometric structure. The option (4) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The artwork "Entombment of Christ" by Jacopo da Pontormo can be described as a crowded anti-classical composition with shallow space, intertwining weightless figures, and no clear ground line.

It lacks the pyramidal/geometric structure and clear focal point typically associated with the High Renaissance style. The figures in the painting are oddly positioned and have exaggerated proportions, deviating from the classical Renaissance standards. Therefore, option (4) is correct.
