参考答案

【正确答案：E】

第四段第四句“Their Olaf Street Study, ... is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterizes

most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.(Olaf Street Study是少数几个信奉世俗的作品之一——代表了我们多数时候对地景的体验)”可知Olaf Street Study反映了大多数人的体验，也就是有其大众的一面，故正确答案为E选项“描绘了英国地景艺术的大众的一面”。A、C、F、G选项与本题对应的原文信息无关。
