This exhibit displays a selection of 16th-20th century works of art from The Mint Museum's European art collection. Since the founding of the museum in 1936, The Mint Museum has  developed a notable collection of European paintings, starting with a gift from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Since then, the Mint Museum Auxiliary and local collectors have generously contributed to the collection. Artists included in this sampling range from Italian artists such as Domenico Zampieri to Dutch artists including Paulus Moreelse and even Benjamin West, an American-born painter most active in England.
