“Among them was Domenico Ghirlandaio, a master in fresco painting, perspective, figure drawing and portraiture who had the largest workshop in Florence.[16] In 1488, at the age of 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to Ghirlandaio.”

I have bad news for you, that’s how humans work too. They get trained on how to draw/paint/etc. on copyrighted material, then make derivatives.
