| | Collections: European (Bowdoin Art Museum) |
 | | Bowdoin’s nearly 400 European art works (excluding prints and drawings) range from the medieval to the modern period and, uniquely in Maine, represent the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, as well as the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. |
 | | In 1961 Bowdoin was one of 23 college museums to receive a group of Italian Renaissance paintings, many in period frames, from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. |
 | | A comprehensive survey of Italian, French, and other northern European material, it provides an overview of European history from 1450 to 1850 and a window to the world of classical history, architecture, myth, and epigraphy. |
