The museum's collection of religious European paintings is divided between the convent church and the rooms in the building itself, which was constructed at the end of the 19th Century. Some of these paintings were confiscated by local revolutionaries, others were sent by the state, which, in the 19th Century, divided up the spoils from the Parisian revolution, and others come from the prodigious spoils from Napoleonic conquests. The collection constitutes a small section covering the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries and a remarkable series from the 17th and 18th Century.
