The Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans (Museum of Fine Arts) is one of the oldest French museums. Founded in 1797, it preserves a rich collection, testifying European artistic creation from the 15th to the 20th century. There are numerous paintings by Italian, Flemish and Dutch artists from the Renaissance and subsequent centuries, as well as a rich collection of French works from the 17th and 18th centuries. It also conserves sculptures, decorative art objects, prints and drawings. Among the latter, the collection of pastel drawings stands out, the largest in France after that of the Louvre. Among the most prominent works we see works by artists such as Correggio, Tintoretto, Carracci, Guido Reni, Vélazquez, Mattia Preti, Luca Giordano, Van Dyck and several others. The French school is represented by several great artists, including Georges de la Tour, Philippe de Champagne, Antoine Watteau, Greuze. 19th and 20th century art is also witnessed by numerous artists, including Géricault, Delacroix, Gauguin, Picasso and several others.
