Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Surviving seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes

When it comes to the count of surviving Dutch landscapes, those made by major artists = those made by minor artists. For minor artists back in the day, painting such landscapes was a source of living whereas major artists were only a handful. Thus, the author concludes that there is a case of overestimation of Dutch landscapes made by major artists. We are to strengthen the conclusion, and find a point that is related to theconclusion.­


A. Technically gifted seventeenth-century Dutch landscape artists developed recognizable styles that were difficult toimitate.
This is weakening the argument ifanything.

B. In the workshops of major seventeenth-century artists, assistants were employed to prepare the paints, brushes, and other materials that the major artists thenused.
Unrelated to theargument

C. In the eighteenth century, landscapes by minor seventeenth-century artists were often simply thrown away or else destroyed through improperstorage.
Again, this is aweakener.
