Correct Answer:
A. Ars Peotica
Explanation:
The correct answer is Ars Poetica. The Latin phrase Ut Pictura Poesis, which translates to "as is painting, so is poetry," was coined by the Roman poet Horace in his influential treatise on poetics titled Ars Poetica. In this work, Horace uses the analogy to suggest that poetry should be evaluated with the same aesthetic standards and careful observation as visual art, noting that some works are better appreciated from a distance while others require close inspection. This concept later became a foundational theory in Renaissance and neoclassical art criticism, establishing a relationship between the "sister arts" of literature and painting.
