renowned artists

Celebrated creative masters

Renowned artists are creators—typically painters, sculptors, musicians, or other practitioners of the fine arts—who have achieved widespread fame and recognition for their work.

The phrase emphasizes established reputation rather than mere skill: The museum features works by renowned artists from the Renaissance.

Someone might be a talented artist without being renowned, which requires public acknowledgment over time.
