Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rembrandt did not travel to Italy during his lifetime, so option A is incorrect. However, Amsterdam had a thriving art market with engravings and paintings from Italy easily accessible, making option B the most likely answer. While Rembrandt did have access to private art collections in Amsterdam, there is no evidence to suggest that this was his primary method of studying Italian Renaissance art, so option C is less likely. Similarly, there is no evidence to suggest that Rembrandt frequently traveled to foreign courts for the purpose of studying art, making option D unlikely as well.
