C. the "ideal man" and everyday scenes
Explanation:
The main features of Reformation art arose from Protestant theology that took place in the context of the individual relationship between the worshiper and God. This emphasis was reflected in the large amount of ordinary people and ordinary everyday scenes that were portrayed in Protestant art.
Protestantism also taught that the question of salvation was reserved exclusively to God, which could not occur as a result of earthly intervention by the Vatican or any other ecclesiastical authority.
In general, Protestant art avoided large themes and grandiose images of the Bible, was more focused on humble representations of biblical scenes and moral representations of contemporary everyday life.
This artistic trend also influenced architecture and other areas. Like the architectural paintings by Emanuel de Witte (1615-1692) and Pieter Saenredam (1597-1665), famous for their whitewashed church interiors.
Not all Protestants had identical views on art, which was more acceptable. Lutherans, for example, tended to be more tolerant than Calvinists, who forbade all figurative arts, considered religious "images" and idolatry.
Some art forms, however, were mostly seen for use in book illustrations and various forms of engravings, which were used by Protestants to convey their religious ideas to their congregations and religious education to the homes of ordinary people. In particular, these types of art allowed the development of a specifically Protestant iconography, which included Protestant-style images of Christ, the Holy Family, Saints and Apostles, as well as illustrations of all people and events in the Bible.
