What kind of painting style did Dutch artists use in the 16th century?

  1. Impressionism

  2. Baroque

  3. Expressionism

  4. Realism

The correct answer is: Realism

Dutch artists in the 16th century commonly used Realism as their painting style. Impressionism, Expressionism, and Baroque emerged in later centuries, so these options are incorrect. Realism, on the other hand, focuses on depicting subjects in a realistic and accurate manner, making it a style that is closely associated with Dutch painters in the 16th century.
