I don't understand how to get the answer to Question 26 in Part 4 of Prep Test 70 (October 2013).

It talks about a historical fact, but I'm unsure where they get this kind of information/reference from?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'll take a crack at it.

The Historical fact is a hypothetical. It is referring to if all people wanted was an accurate rendition of an object; then photography would have replaced Painting.
