There is in every European’s mind the image of a painting which bears a peculiar importance in his national history. Some of those paintings could be found on national banknotes, others still figure on postcards, in adverts or on CD covers. There was the need to reconstitute a European overview on our collective patrimony. When Picasso meets Turner or Delacroix, when Rembrandt appears closed to Munch, Bruegel, Klee or Klimt, this is the expression of a rich culture which can’t remain divided in isolated areas.

This list of European renowned paintings offers you the opportunity to appreciate our European inheritance.
