D!. Subject matterWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"D" Subject matter is first and foremost!. That is the priceless element of his works!. Second would be "C" because of the antiquity of the use of oil paint!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The obvious answer would be "D", since he works are still being studied for the richness of details and the in depth view he gives us to 16th century everyday life!. I do however think that "B" should get some attention as well!. Eventhough the influence of Bosch can clearly be found in his works, I personally belief his compositions are indeed very daring and remarklable for the time!. So its "B" for meWww@QuestionHome@Com
