Answer 1

The statement that is not true of Christian art after the Edict of Milan is:

d. Artists used bright colors and shading.

While some Christian art did utilize bright colors, the overall style, especially in early Christian art, often favored more muted colors and less emphasis on the realistic shading and perspective that would later characterize the Renaissance. Early Christian art focused more on symbolism and conveying religious themes rather than realism.
