European Collection

Paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from the Renaissance to the 20th century

The Palmer Museum of Art’s collection of European art features paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. Old Master paintings form a strength of the collection and include Giovanni Baglione’s St. Sebastian Healed by an Angel, Charles-Antoine Coypel’s Joseph Recognized by his Brothers, and a St. Jerome by Guercino. Highlights of the works on paper in the collection include a broad selection of Renaissance and Baroque prints and drawings, British watercolors, nineteenth-century French lithographs and etchings, and early twentieth-century modernist prints.
