Old Masters
Pre-nineteenth-century greats
Old Masters refers to the great European painters from roughly the 1300s through the 1800s—artists like Rembrandt, Vermeer, Titian, and Velázquez.
The term also applies to their works: The museum's Old Masters collection includes three Caravaggios.
An Old Master painting carries implications of canonical status, technical mastery, and high auction value.
