Answer 1

Ques. (b) In which century did Wu Daozi live?

(i) the ninth century (ii) the eighth century

(iii) the seventh century (iv) the sixth century​

Answer:

The correct answer is option (ii) the eighth century.

Explanation:

The Chinese Emperor hired the artist Wu Daozi to paint landscapes to adorn the palace walls.

The Tang Emperor Xuanzong asked the Chinese artist Wu Daozi to create a landscape painting for a palace wall in the eighth century. Only the Emperor could view the artwork since the master artist had concealed it behind a screen. His final work was a countryside.

The greatest brush master of Tang painting was Wu Daoxuan, also known as Wu Daozi, who, according to Tang records, not only had a successful career at court but also had the creative energy to complete almost $300$ wall paintings in the temples of Luoyang and Chang'an.
