About the Palais Des Beaux-Arts’s Renaissance and Baroque collection
The Palais Des Beaux-Arts’s holdings of Renaissance and Baroque painting in Lille sit among the most significant surviving collections of pre-modern European art. The works in this group — 2 paintings — span the themes of daily life and the hands of artists from Francisco Goya.
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 Palais Des Beaux-Arts’s longer history.
