Paintings The collectors manifested a predilection for the French School from the 16th to the 19th centuries, especially well represented. Important 17th-century works from
Eustache Le Sueur,
Laurent de La Hyre,
Sébastien Bourdon and
Jean Baptiste de Champaigne highlight this latter collection. The museum visit begins with the galleries dedicated to the Northern Schools. Here one can admires, among many others works of
Maerten de Vos,
Roelant Savery,
Jacobus Ferdinandus Saey,
Bartholomeus van der Helst,
Jan Baptist Huysmans,
Jan Peeter Verdussen and
Gerard de Lairesse. File:Maerten de Vos - King Manasseh in exile.jpg|

Bartholomeus van der Helst,
La femme au livre, around 1665 Italian art is equally well represented, especially by the Venetian Schools of the 16th century (among which
Christ and the Adultress by
Giovanni Cariani is one of the highlights) and the 18th century (notably
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo,
Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini). There are also examples from both the Lombardian and Neapolitan Schools (notably
Giovanni Stefano Danedi called Montalto, Giovanni Battista Cerano,
Gaspare Traversi). File:Giovanni Cariani - Christ and the woman taken in adultery.jpg|

Portrait of Coarlos Borromeus, 1659 By choosing carefully, the Magnins accumulated an exceptional group of 17th French paintings. The two
Putti Musicians by
Laurent de La Hyre,
The dream of Poliphile by
Eustache Le Sueur and
The Holy Family by
Sébastien Bourdon all illustrate the
Parisian Atticism of the years between 1640 and 1650. File:La Sainte-Famille.jpg|

Eustache Le Sueur,
Poliphile in bath with the nymphs, around 1640 The 18th century has not been neglected, but is more represented by drawings and paintings of minor masters (
Hyacinthe Collin de Vermont,
Michel-François Dandré-Bardon,
Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre), than the grand painters like
Jean-Antoine Watteau and
Jean-Honoré Fragonard whose works acquired by the Magnins are no longer attributed to them. The 19th century collection confirms the definitive and original taste of the collectors. Here one finds fewer beacons of Neo-classicism, Romanticism or Realism than paintings of
François-Xavier Fabre,
Pauline Gauffier or for the Post-revolutionary period the subtle and extremely rare landscapes of
Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson. Their appreciation of the intimist works of the 1830s is obvious in their choice of artists such as
François Marius Granet,
Étienne Bouhot or for the Romantic period,
Paul Delaroche,
Alexandre-Évariste Fragonard or
Eugène Devéria. File:Girodet 99-019835.jpg|

Paul Delaroche,
Filippo Lippi et Lucrezia Buti, 1822 The originality of this collection resides not only in the variety of artists represented but also in curiosity the Magnins had for the provincial schools. With Burgundian origins, Jeanne and Maurice involved themselves with art from their region as well as from Franche-Comté. Among some of the artists found at the museum, we can name
Jean Bardin,
Bénigne Gagneraux,
Jean-François Gilles Colson and
Jean-Claude Naigeon. ,

Works of art and graphic arts The Magnin Museum is not only dedicated to paintings. It brings together a wonderful body of drawing from French and foreign schools, and offers the visitor an ensemble of furniture, works of art and sculptures: in short, a choice of seductive works. One can stop to admire the
Secrétaire de dame à double pente (Lady's secretary with double slope) with the stamp of Bon Durand (Master in 1761) or in front of the sober Commode of Courte, a cabinet-maker from Dijon. There are also a few sculptures in the collection such as
Auguste Préault's
