The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (although less often for actors). "Artiste" (French for artist) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. Use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like used in criticism.

Martín De Soria
Martín de Soria (fl. 1449 -1487) was a Spanish Gothic painter in the Flemish style; active in the Kingdom of Aragón. His style is related to that of Jaume Huguet and his works have sometimes been confused with that painter's youthful efforts. Life and work He appears to have begun his artistic education in the workshop of his uncle, Blasco de Grañén, who also worked as his agent. In 1457, he and Juan Rius (fl.1455-1482) were commissioned to create an altarpiece for the town of Aguilón, with his uncle as guarantor. In 1459, following his uncle's death, he completed altarpieces at Épila and Ejea de los Caballeros that his uncle had left unfinished. At the latter, in the Iglesia de San Salvador, which was not completed until 1476, a cleaning that was performed in 1986 uncovered evidence that the work may be entirely Soria's. Also in 1459, he contracted with the merchant, Miguel de Baltueña, to create an altarpiece for his personal chapel at the Iglesia de San Pablo i ...
