Answer 1

a)Artists of the Northern Renaissance were not interested in the details of the natural world, but more interested in a sense of generalized realism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stament A is a false statement, because for instance if we analyze the case of the artist Jan van Eyck, is true that he had a different approach from the Italian method but it is false that he was not interested in the details of the natural world. He was absolutely interested in them, to the point that he was able to mirror the world he perceived just by sheer observation. As it can be seen in Marriage Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini.
