Old Master
An Old Master (or old master) is a term for a European painter of skill who worked before about 1800, or a painting by such a painter. An Old master print is an original print (for example an engraving or etching) made by an artist in the same period. Likewise an Old master drawing. In theory an Old Master should be an artist who was fully trained, was a Master of his local artists' guild, and worked independently, but in practice paintings considered to be produced by pupils or workshops will be included in the term. Therefore, beyond a certain level of competence, date rather than quality is the criterion for using the term.
