The two factors that are most likely to guide artists in their choices about what to depict and what to leave out when painting a scene from a story or poem are:

1. **the need to show the most important scene** - Artists often focus on key moments that capture the essence of the narrative, ensuring that their work conveys the central themes or emotions of the story.

2. **the artistic ability to include symbolism** - Artists may choose to include symbolic elements that can deepen the viewer's understanding of the scene or the story, allowing for a richer interpretation than just a literal depiction.

These aspects help artists create a meaningful representation of the source material.
