The Penguin Dictionary of Art and Artists states “A word now almost meaningless, being applied to (i) painters particularly of the Nertherlandish and Italian Schools working before c.1500.......... that have no obvious connection with (ii) the naive – unsophisticated, unspoilt vision consistent with the amateur, or ‘Sunday’ painter, admired for its connections of genuineness and purity of artistic impulse, and freedom from the trammels of professionalism, tradition, technique and formal training”.
