Show the answer
Fine arts: Taught in academies, Signed by a named individual, Written about as a history of individuals
Applied arts: Taught through apprenticeship, Frequently anonymous workshop production, Written about as a history of styles
Why
The third pair is the one with the longest consequences. A history written as a sequence of named individuals cannot easily accommodate workshop production, so the practices on the right were not merely ranked lower, they were largely written about in a different way, and often not written about at all.
