Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Giorgione's Sleeping Venus of around 1509 was unfinished at his death. Reason (R): This painting was completed by Tintoretto but the basic style is Giorgione's. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Hint:

Remember these important facts: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \textit{Sleeping Venus} &\rightarrow \text{Giorgione}, \text{Unfinished Due to Death} &\rightarrow \text{Completed by Titian}, \text{Tintoretto} &\rightarrow \text{Later Venetian Renaissance Painter}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Giorgione began it, Titian completed it.”
