Excited stars model for revered artists (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
old masters
'revered artists' is the definition.
'old masters' can be an answer for 'artists' (old master is a kind of artist). I'm not sure about the 'revered' bit.
'excited stars model' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stars'+'model'='starsmodel'
'starsmodel' anagrammed gives 'OLD MASTERS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for old masters that I've seen before include "Great Renaissance paintings" , "experienced in school?" , "Classic artists" , "Art's models (anag) - classic painters" , "Great historic artists" .)
