Which artwork was painted by Donatello?

• A. The Penitent Magdalene
• B. A Bar at the Folies-Bergere
• C. Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe
• D. The Burial of the Count of Orgaz

Answer: (A)

Donatello was a master of sculpture in the early Renaissance, not a painter. The key idea here is recognizing the artist’s known medium and creations. The Penitent Magdalene is a wooden sculpture attributed to Donatello, created in the mid-15th century, and it showcases his skill in carving and emotional expression in a three-dimensional form. The other works listed are paintings: A Bar at the Folies-Bergère and Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe are canvases by Édouard Manet, and The Burial of the Count of Orgaz is by El Greco. So, among these options, The Penitent Magdalene is the one connected to Donatello, even though it isn’t a painting.
