European artists

Old World creators

European artists are creators of visual art, music, literature, or other artistic works who originate from or work primarily in Europe.

The phrase typically appears in art historical contexts discussing movements like the Renaissance, Impressionism, or Modernism: The museum's collection focuses on European artists from the 18th century.

It may distinguish continental traditions from American, Asian, or other regional artistic lineages.
