I'd spend $2k on an outdated painting from Rembrandt if someone offered me one at that price, but that's just me.

I am sure Rembrandt didn't print them at a factory by thousands.
Rembrandt, like most of the "old masters" in art, ran a studio that employed many painters. He put his name on a lot of things he didn't paint entirely by himself. It's not quite the same as printing, but the idea that he was essentially running a factory isn't entirely wrong.
