The artist that set the standard for history paintings was Benjamin West.
Benjamin West (1738-1820) was an American painter who was noted for developing a technique in which he combined the conventions of traditional heroic paintings with the themes and clothing of modern realism.
West was a self-taught painter who traveled to Italy to define his style as classical by studying the works of the great Italian masters.
Later, he traveled to England, and met Joshua Reynolds (portraitist), and obtained the protection of George III, who commissioned him to carry out portraits of members of the royal family and, in 1772, appointed him as a court painter. His most outstanding works are:
- The Deal of a Penny with the Indians (1772).
- Death on a pale horse (1802).
He is also noted for being the founder of the Royal Academy of the Arts. Therefore, he was an inspiration to many young American painters such as Gilbert Stuart and John Singleton Copley.

Pottery from Jōmon
period in Japan (Jōmon doki, <span>c. 14,500 - c. 300 BCE) is a type
of ancient earthenware pottery. The main characteristic of pottery decoration
was rope pressed patterns into clay, hence the name "Jōmon" which means
"rope-patterned". The pottery crafts from Jōmon period are the oldest
potteries in Japan and among the oldest in the world. The example above belongs
to the pottery made in Middle Jōmon period (Umataka Kaen) from Hokuriku region,
which is called 'fire-flame' for its 3D type decorations which resemble flames.
Pottery in this period is characteristic for thick walls, flamboyant decorations
and patterns (flame like) and molds with ropes, human faces, snakes and other
animal motifs.</span>

I believe the correct answer is E. bas-relief.
<span>bas-relief (meaning: low relief) is one of the
sculpture technique, alongside high-relief and intaglio, in which figures and elements
are just barely more distinguished than the background (usually overall flat). Bas-relief technique is really old, the earliest
known bas-reliefs are on the walls of caves and can also be found in Roman or
Greek sculpture (for example: bas-relief sculptures of Poseidon, Apollo and
Artemis on Parthenon).</span>
