Why do different artists depict the same scene differently?

Because their perception, vision, and style differ

The same subject can produce different artworks because art is not a mechanical copy of visible objects. Each artist observes selectively, responds emotionally, chooses a particular composition, and uses an individual technique, colour scheme, line quality, or degree of detail. The governing concept is the difference between subject and expression: the scene is the subject, while the artist’s perception and style shape its presentation. Option C is correct because personal experience, viewpoint, and artistic style influence what is included and how it is shown. Options A, B, and D are unreasonable: the scene exists, colours are not forbidden, and difference does not result from every artist forgetting one rule.
