History

Established in 1801 by the painter Pierre Lacour,[2] it is one of the largest art galleries in France outside Paris. The museum holds several paintings that were looted by the French during the French Revolution (so-called 'saisies révolutionnaires') such as the Martyrdom of Saint Georges by Peter Paul Rubens.[3]

First hosted in a library and then in a room of the town hall, the collection was moved into the current building after its construction from 1875 to 1881. The Galerie des Beaux-Arts was built later, from 1936 to 1939.

[it] Musée des Beaux-Arts (Bordeaux)

Il Musée des Beaux-Arts ("Museo di Belle Arti") di Bordeaux si trova all'interno del complesso del Palazzo Rohan, nel centro della città, ed è una delle maggiori gallerie di Francia fuori Parigi. Fu creato dopo il decreto consolare del 31 agosto 1801, che fece seguito al rapporto di Chaptal, con la proposta di ripartire le opere del Museo Centrale tra 15 grandi città di provincia. La nascita del museo fu inoltre merito della tenacia del pittore Pierre Lacour (1745-1814), che ne fu il fondatore e primo conservatore. Il senatore bordolese Bernard Journu-Auber, membro della commissione di attribuzione delle opere conservate a Parigi, permise l'arrivo di 20 dipinti al museo nel 1803.
