Located within the precincts of the Palais du Luxembourg and operating under the control of the Senate, the Musee du Luxembourg was founded in 1750 as one of Europe's first museums of painting. The works exhibited to the public included paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Paolo Veroneseo Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Poussin and Raphael. It became the museum of living artists in 1818 and displayed works by David, Eros, Girodet, Vernet, Ingres and Delacroix among others. The building that now houses the museum was built between 1884 and 1886 by the Senate. The first extension was constructed to accommodate the important Caillebotte bequest.
