Which of the following best explains why the painting was seen as a challenge to social conventions when it was painted?
Women were rarely the subject of paintings in European art of the period.

Respuesta :

The painting was seen as a challenge to social conventions because it represented a socially undervalued, lower class that was outside the country's elite.

We can reach this result because:

  • The painting was an elitist art form, reserved only for the higher social classes.
  • Because of this, the painting was used to represent this class, so that it would attract the attention of the members of that class.
  • When painting began to be produced and represent lower and devalued social classes, social conventions were challenged.

This is because the change in audience offended members of the upper classes, who felt they were being left behind and equated with the poorer classes.

You didn't present the painting, or the answer options, which makes it impossible for me to write a specific answer. However, I hope the above information can help.
