Question 3 • FL-0100310-Introduction to Art History

Which of the following is not a true statement?

Answer
A
A work of art can be originally created to document an event, but later become a piece that commemorates the event and the people involved.
B
Many cultures throughout history have had statues built to commemorate great rulers.
C
Documentation attempts to tell about a factual event or person.
D
Columnar monuments were used only by the Romans until the 14th century.

Explanation

The statement that is not true is “Columnar monuments were used only by the Romans until the 14th century.” Columnar monuments appeared in cultures beyond Rome and were used in different periods, so their use was not limited to Romans. The other statements describe how art can document and commemorate events, and how statues have honored rulers across many cultures.
