Question

What does bassanio call the artist

Answer 1

ANSWER

Bassanio praises Portia's portrait by saying that when he moves his eyeballs it seems that Portia's eyeballs are also moving. He also says that from the parted lips of Portia a sweet breath is coming out. He further praises her picture by saying that in her golden hair the artist has worked like a spider and instead of painting her hair he has woven a golden trap to entrap the hearts of men faster than flying insects are trapped in spider webs.
