Here you can experience art from the Italian and Northern European Renaissance, the Dutch Baroque and the Danish Golden Age.

The European collection contains works by Giovanni Bellini, Claude Lorrain and Rembrandt. The Danish collection contains works by some of the leading artists of the Danish Golden Age, including C.W. Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Johan Lundbye, Wilhelm Marstrand, Martinus Rørbye and P. C. Skovgaard.

Drawings and paintings are most prevalent, with portraits, scenes from the 19th century Italy, landscapes, animals, children, ships, religious subjects and still life compositions can be found.
