I see why C is the correct answer but why is B wrong?
It seems very tempting too...
I thought intangible characteristic is in L41 and it refers to Vermeer and inaugurated=intangible, so it means the true value which is not visible, right?

The problem with B, 15, is that it focuses on the aesthetic value of a work of art, and the passage is not concerned with aesthetic value so much as with its overall inferiority. The Disciples at Emmaus is acknowledge to be aesthetically superior, but is nevertheless judged to be an inferior work because it lacked originality of vision. That's what the passage is all about! It's about going beyond aesthetics to the underlying intangible qualities.

I hope that helps!
