Valencia - Museum of Fine Arts / Provincial Museum of Art

(Local Name: Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes) Just north of the Torres de Serranos the Puente de Serranos crosses the Río Turia (usually dry), beyond which is the Plaza de Santa Mónica, with the church of Santa Mónica. Down the far bank of the river to the right is the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes, also known as the Museo de Valencia.

As the name indicates, the museum is mainly devoted to artists of the Valencian school. On the ground floor are displays of Archeological material and sculpture, with the museum's collection of pictures on the first floor. Among them are the anonymous altarpiece of Fray Bonifacio Ferrer (14th C.), a triptych of the Passion by Hieronymus Bosch, pictures of the early Valencian school by Rodrigo de Osona ("Pietà"), Nicolás Falcó, Jaco- mart and others, works by painters of the main Valencian school including Ribalta ("Last Supper", "St Bruno"), Ribera ("St Jerome"), Macip and Espinosa, pictures by other Spanish painters (Velázquez, Murillo, El Greco, Goya, Morales) and works by the Italian masters Pinturicchio and Andrea del Sarto.

On the second floor can be seen pictures by 19th and 20th century Valencian artists; the third floor is devoted to historical painting.
