D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help vindicate(澄清)hospitals that are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients overcome discomfort and pain.
A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli.They were then asked to watch either the beautiful paintings,or the ugly paintings,or a blank panel while the team zapped(打击)a short laser pulse at their hand,creating a sensation as if they had been pricked(刺痛) by a pin.The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings,compared with when considering the ugly paintings or the blank panel.
Electrodes measuring the brain’s electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings.While distractions(消遣),such as music,are known to reduce pain in hospital patients,Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part.The findings,reported in New Scientist,also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process.
