Who are the Old Masters?
The term “Old Masters” refers to European painters of high quality who worked before about 1800, or until the art movements of the late 18th century. Some of the most famous Old Masters are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, and Caravaggio. These artists created some of the most iconic works in art history, such as the “Mona Lisa,” “The Last Supper,” “The Night Watch,” “The Girl with the Pearl Earring,” and “The Conversion of Saint Paul.”
The Art of Reinterpreting
In his collection, Liemburg uses modern colors, techniques, and a dose of humor to give classic works a new life. By transforming iconic pieces such as “The Night Watch” and “The Girl with the Pearl Earring,” he offers a fresh perspective on these masterpieces. The result is a collection of artworks that are both recognizable and surprisingly new, challenging the viewer to look at the Old Masters in a new way.

Each artwork in the collection represents a harmonious fusion of old and new. “Home is Where the Heart Is” and “The Last Supper” are examples of how traditional scenes are revitalized with modern aesthetics and humor, finding a unique place in contemporary interiors.
