Answer 1

C. The "Old Masters"

Step-by-step explanation:

W.H. Auden's "Musee des Beaux Arts" (The Museum of Fine Arts) illustrates the toll that human tragedy takes by focusing on a single object of art. The poet starts by noting that the art he is seeing was created by "Old Masters," who were no strangers to adversity.
