Answer to Question 1

E
Although van Gogh's art was known by few people while he was alive, he is credited posthumously with impacting generations of artists and contributing to the development of modern art.

Answer to Question 2

In addition to comparing the paintings, students should also touch upon how vanitas are still life paintings containing symbols or objects that convey the transience of earthly life. This subject was popular in the 17th century and contemporary artists became fascinated with this tradition.
