Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hieronymous Bosch positioned God, furnished with a golden crown upon His head, symbolic of both His heavenly creativity and ultimate powers, and draped in a blue gown, symbolic of His divine nature, above the Earth to illustrate His supreme ruling over the world.

Wifredo Lam was a Cuban-born artist, best known for his large scale paintings which reference modernist aesthetics and African and Cuban imagery to explore themes of social injustice, spirituality and rebirth.
