The exhibition “Masterpiece” is devoted to a forgotten chapter in the history of art. When an aspiring painter of former times completed his training, he had to submit a piece of his making to the aldermen of the guild and/or the municipal officials for examination to attain the rank of master, hence “masterpiece”. Until now, art history has tended to concern itself with the “masterpiece” in the sense of “an outstanding work”, all too easily forgetting artists’ roots in the crafts – a category from which they only managed to liberate themselves over the course of the nineteenth century.
