The term "old master" generally refers to European artists who were active prior to the 19th century and whose work has had a significant impact on the history of art. Some of the most well-known old masters include:

    Leonardo da Vinci
    Michelangelo
    Raphael
    Titian
    Caravaggio
    Rembrandt
    Vermeer
    Rubens

These artists, among others, are revered for their technical mastery, innovative use of materials, and groundbreaking contributions to the development of various artistic movements, styles, and genres. Their works are still highly sought after by collectors, museums, and art enthusiasts around the world.
