Christ Church is unique among the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge in possessing a large collection of Old Master paintings and drawings – some 300 paintings and almost 2000 drawings. The collection is strong in Italian Art from the 14th- to the 18th-century. It includes famous paintings like Annibale Carracci’s ‘The Butcher’s Shop’, Veronese’s ‘Mystic Marriage of St Catherine’ and Filippino Lippi’s ‘The Wounded Centaur’. However, there are also outstanding paintings by Northern painters such as Sir Anthony van Dyck, Frans Hals and Hugo van der Goes.
Christ Church’s collection of Old Master Drawings is one of the most important in the country. Practically every major master is represented, including celebrated stars such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Rubens. A selection of drawings is always on view; this is changed approximately every three months, giving visitors a glimpse of the treasures in the collection.
