Answer to Question 1

C
Monotypes are singular prints that cannot be precisely duplicated.

Answer to Question 2

The artist, Master of the Osservanza, used tempera paint as his medium, illustrating episodes from the life of Saint Anthony. Tempera was a popular medium in the early Renaissance, and the artist built up the forms of his work slowly, through layers of precise brushwork, resulting in a charming vision of what the artist perceived a desert must look like.
