What is the meaning of past masters apron?
Answer 1: In Freemasonry, the members, during meetings, wear aprons which resemble what stonemasons wear. The highest-ranking member in any given lodge is called the "Master," and his apron -- and those of certain other officers -- is a bit different from all the others. Once he is no longer the "Master" -- once he's a past-Master -- he gets yet another apron which indicates his having once held that high office.Many of the founding fathers of the United States were Freemasons; and many of them were Masters in their respective lodges. And so, many of them had portraits painted of them wearing their past-Master's aprons......which, no doubt, is what the questioner saw or read about somewhere, hence the question.For example (and this is but one), founding father, and first president of the United States, George Washington, was a Freemason; and many paintings -- some authorized, many not -- of him wearing his Masonic apron (a few of them his past-Masters apron) exist.
What did an apprentice for a master of renaissance painting do?
An apprentice's first tasks were humble: sweeping, running errands, preparing the wooden panels for painting, and grinding and mixing pigments. As the apprentice's skills grew, he would begin to learn from his master: drawing sketches, copying paintings, casting sculptures, and assisting in the simpler aspects of creating art works. The best students would assist the master with important commissions, often painting background and minor figures while the Master painted the main subjects. The few apprentices who showed amazing skill could eventually become masters themselves. A very few became greater artists than their masters. One legend tells of the young Leonardo da Vinci painting an angel so perfectly that his master Verrocchio broke his brushes in two and gave up painting forever in recognition of his pupil's superior abilities.
