Gallery exhibits Old Masters’ work

The conservation, collections manager Lilian Chaonwa, curated the show in response to the art education syllabus that was being done by several local schools.
Old Masters were European artists working before the 1800s.
Their works are characterised by extreme skill and a certain sense of distinctive beauty which has kept the artwork popular through the centuries.
The timeframe in which works of art are classified as works by Old Masters is broad hence a huge assortment of artistic styles and techniques are encompassed under this umbrella term.
It is regularly used in the art world as a means of separating the great European artists of yesteryear from the famous painters of the modern era.
The Old Masters period reflects a very volatile period in European history, as the Renaissance marked major changes in the European way of life.
This era begins with the proto-renaissance, early renaissance and high renaissance from the 15th to 18th centuries.
They demonstrate that art is a documentary of any singular fine art medium.
This exhibition is targeted at students in an attempt to assist them with visual material which they can make reference to when responding to their art syllabus.
