Answer:
b) To prove that artists are not historians
Explanation:
Geoffrey Ashe most likely made the reference in the depiction of biblical scenes because he wanted to prove that artists are not historians.
He made the observation that when you see a painting of an angel appearing to Mary, a window at the back looks like a French chateau which could not have existed in Nazareth.
A chateau is a manor house or where a Lord resides and because a window resembles a chateau in a painting that is supposed to depict the biblical Nazareth, it is likely that the artist that made the painting is a poor student of history.
Geoffrey is of the opinion that artists are not historians (or good students of history) because of the blatant error of putting a French chateau in a painting of Nazareth.

The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England
