About the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Renaissance and Baroque collection
The Cleveland Museum of Art’s holdings of Renaissance and Baroque painting in Cleveland sit among the most significant surviving collections of pre-modern European art. The works in this group — 275 paintings — span the themes of portrait, power & politics, daily life, tragedy & death, religion & mythology, landscape, love & romance and the hands of artists from Anonymous, Albrecht Dürer, Anthony van Dyck, Bartolommeo Coriolano, Caravaggio.
If you’re planning a visit, use this page as a starting list of the must-see paintings. If you’re researching from a desk, each painting page goes deeper than a museum label: the patron, the symbolism a 17th-century viewer would have recognised, the technique under the surface, and where the painting fits in Cleveland Museum of Art’s longer history.
