a.
Giotto’s Lamentation (Arena Chapel, c.1305–06) is celebrated for its naturalistic, deeply felt depiction of grief — the result of Giotto’s observation of and empathy for human pain and suffering. He painted it decades before the Black Death (1347–51), so (b) is incorrect, and there’s no strong evidence that a “religious dream” (c) specifically inspired the emotional treatment.
