Section II

Direction for questions 31 to 33: The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose themost appropriate answer to each question.

The case for constituting political authority democratically rested on two basic assumptions: first, that no

person was naturally superior to another, so any relations of authority between them stood in need ofjustification in other words, each person should enjoy equal political rights unless it could be shown thateveryone gained from having inequality; second, that the interests of the people were best safeguarded bymaking them the final repository of political authority anyone entrusted with special powers must beaccountable to the people as a whole. But this still left open exactly what role the people as a whole shouldplay in government. Should they be directly involved in legislating, as Rousseau argued in his SocialContract, and if so how? Or should they only be involved at one step removed, by choosing representativeswho would wield authority on their behalf.

In practice those political systems we call democracies give their citizens only a very limited role ingovernment. They are entitled to vote at periodic elections, they are occasionally consulted through a

referendum when some major constitutional question has to be decided, and they are allowed to formgroups to lobby their representatives on issues that concern them, but that is the extent of their authority.Real power to determine the future of democratic societies rests in the hands of a remarkably smallnumber of people government ministers, civil servants, and to some extent members of parliament orother legislative assembly and it is natural to ask why this is so. If democracy is the best way to makepolitical decisions, why not make it a reality by letting the people themselves decide major questionsdirectly? One answer that is often given at this point is that it is simply impractical for millions of ordinarycitizens to be involved in making the huge number of decisions that governments have to make today. Ifthey were to try, not only would government be paralyzed, but they would leave themselves no time to doall those other things that most people think are more important than politics. But this answer is notadequate, because it is not difficult to envisage citizens making general policy decisions whose detailed

implementation would then be left to ministers and others. The electronic revolution means that it wouldnow be quite easy to ask citizens for their views on a wide range of issues ranging from war and peacethrough taxation and public expenditure to animal welfare and environmental issues. So why is this doneonly on those rare occasions when a referendum is called?

The reason is that there is a widespread belief that ordinary people are simply not competentto understandthe issues that lie behind political decisions, and so they are happy to hand these decisions over to peoplethey regard as better qualified to deal with them. An uncompromising statement of this point of view can befound in Joseph Schumpeters book Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy(1943), where it is argued thatthe citizens job is to choose a team of leaders to represent him or her, not to attempt to decide issuesdirectly. Schumpeter claims that whereas in economic transactions,for instance, people experience the

results of their decisionsdirectly if they buy a defective product, they soon discover theirmistake in thecase of political decisions there is no such immediate feedbackmechanism.

Directions for questions 44 to 46: The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose themost appropriate answer to each question.

According to the influential mid-19th-century Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt, the Renaissance was themoment when the modern notion of individuality, indeed, the very concept of the self as an autonomousentity, first fully manifested itself, eventually giving rise to an ideal, multi-talented Renaissance man oruomo universale. Since the publication of Burckhardts The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy in 1860,scholars have vigorously debated the merit of such broad and sweeping claims and have pointed out thatwell-rounded, self-aware individuals can be found in earlier periods as well. Although it is notoriouslydifficult to prove or disprove theories about a paradigm shift in the Weltanshauung, or world view, of aparticular age, there is no doubt that the Renaissance did see an explosion in the production of painted andsculpted portraits of recognizable individuals. Of course, independent painted portraits of a very smallnumber of kings and pontiffs had existed long before the Renaissance, with even some slightly lower-ranked members of the elite, such as bishops or high nobles, portrayed in effigy on their tombs. Likewise,

donor portraits, in which the wealthy and powerful patron of a work, such as an altarpiece, would bedepicted within or at the edge of a sacred scene, had also existed since the Middle Ages .Similarportrayals of the sacred and secular elite certainly continued to be produced throughout the 15th and 16thcenturies. But beginning in the early 1400s, other categories of sitters, such as women, well-to-do merchants,and even artists, also began to be represented in ever-greater numbers in independent portraits. And evenin portraits of the traditional elite, a growing interest in individual psychology and physiology is evident,thereby reflecting the periods new approaches to depicting space, nature, and human anatomy increasinglynaturalistically. The very interest in individual portraiture also reflected the Renaissance revival of Classical


13/17


antiquity, since ancient writers had focused on the biographies of famous individuals, while ancient coinsand marble busts of Roman emperors and their less exalted citizen-subjects still existed to be studied,admired, and used as models for new commissions by Renaissance patrons, collectors, and artists.

44. Renaissance did see an explosion in the production of painted and sculpted portraits of recognizableindividuals. Which of the following statements (if true) best mitigates this claim?(a) Discovery of painted portraits of kings and pontiffs belonging to a period prior to the Renaissance.(b) Discovery of paintings made in early 1400 with sitters including, but not restricted to, women

and merchants.(c) Discovery of paintings depicting self-aware individuals belonging to a period prior to the

Renaissance.(d) Sitters including, but not restricted to, women and merchants featured prominently in many

paintings prior to the Renaissance.

45. Jacob Buckhardts theory that Renaissance gave rise to the multi talented Renaissance Man isbest supported by which of the following?(a) A Renaissance portrait, assiduously considered for their visual and symbolic significance, is a

straightforward depiction of what the person portrayed really looked like.

(b) In a Renaissance portrait of a Duke, his steady, steely gaze peering out from a light-colouredface that stands out against a generally dark background is clearly meant to attest to hiscourage and determination.

(c) In a Renaissance portrait Isabella dEste, a 60 year old patron and collector, was depicted as ateenage girl.

(d) Art should strive to show the movements of the soul through the movements of the body.

46. What is the primary purpose of the author in the passage?(a) To show that it is difficult to prove or disprove theories about a shift in the world view of a

particular age.(b) To compare the renaissance period with the pre Renaissance period.

(c) To trace the revival of classical antiquity during the Renaissance period.(d) To discuss how the concept of individuality manifested itself in Renaissance art.

Direction for questions 52 to 54: The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose themost appropriate answer to each question.

Womens roles as patrons have attracted increasing scholarly attention in recent years. The role of thepatron was crucial to art-making in the Renaissance. Indeed, one could argue that it was the patron whowas the initiator of almost all significant artistic projects, and that it was the patron who determined anindividual artworks most important features and characteristics, including what material it was made from,

where it was displayed, the subject it depicted, its size, and even, to a certain extent, its style andcomposition. Although knowing about a works patron can never explain everything about an art object,understanding a patrons circumstances can provide us with important insights into why a particular workwas commissioned and why it has some qualities rather than others. This is of particular relevance in thecase of elite women patrons. Although many of their habits and concerns as patrons parallel those of theirmale contemporaries, there were important differences as well. By far the largest number whose patronagecan be documented in this period were widows, like Atalanta Baglioni who hired Raphael to produce an


15/17


altarpiece commemorating her murdered son or nuns living in convents. The prevalence of widows andnuns as art patrons is quite simple to explain: only these women had the financial and social independenceto pay for works of art themselves. As a young girl or a married lady, a woman was legally and financiallyunder the control of first her father and then her husband. Indeed, it was only if a woman outlived herhusband that she could finally decide whether and how to spend her money on commissioning works ofart. Likewise, until joining a convent, a young nun would have been unable to exercise any kind of independentartistic patronage within her family home. Only upon joining a female religious community could collectivedecisions about commissioning art be made, although in many cases it was the abbess who was in overallcharge of such projects. Sticking to the secular sphere, the most common artistic commissions for womeninvolved the tombs of their deceased husbands. Renaissance widows were exhorted to follow the Classicalmodel of Artemisia, a widowed queen whose fabulous tomb for her husband, King Mausolus, became oneof the seven wonders of the ancient world and has given us the word mausoleum. Like Artemisia, 15th-and 16th-century widows were also usually concerned first, foremost, and often solely, with commissioningan appropriate funerary monument for their husbands. Some, but not all, monuments included an effigy ofthe deceased spouse. Sculpted effigies of women were rare, although wives did sometimes appear askneeling donors together with their husbands in painted altarpieces or frescos painted for funerary chapelsas seen, for instance, in the portrait of Nera Corsi in the Sassetti Chapel although in this case, the projectwas commissioned by her still-living husband . However, even if a widow did not make a personal appearance

in her husbands funerary chapel, she could remind posterity of her role as its patron through an inscriptionor by including her own coat of arms as well as that of her spouse. At the most elite levels, a very smallnumber of women made much more impressive and longer-lasting marks thanks to their non-funerealartistic patronage.

52. Which of the statements given below contradicts the impression that the widows and nuns as artpatrons left a deep impact?(a) They had the time to spare for works of art and so could study art deeply.(b) They had the money to spend on works of art and so could commission works of art.(c) They had the financial and social independence to make decisions.(d) None of the above

53. Which of the following is most true of the Renaissance widows?(a) They wanted to make mausoleums that would be recognized as wonders of the world.(b) They were concerned with the commissioning of an appropriate funerary monument for their

husbands.(c) All monuments included effigies of their deceased spouses.(d) They appeared only in painted frescos in funerary chapels.

54. According to the author the role of the patron was crucial to art making in the Renaissance periodbecause of which of the following reason?(a) Everything of the art object reflected the patrons circumstances.

(b) The patron decided the most important characteristics and features of the artwork.(c) The works of art were only financed by art patrons.(d) It was the patron who was the initiator of all artistic projects.
