Museum der Bildenden Künste in Budapest, Ungarn

Perhaps the most important addition to the Museum of Fine Arts' collection was the National Gallery. This was basically made up of the Esterházy family's massive collection - Pál Esterházy sold his entire collection of more than 600 paintings, 3500 drawings, and 51000 graphics reproductions to the Hungarian state in 1865. The collection included such gems as Raffaello's Madonna and his self-portrait, in addition to Correggio's "Breast feeding Madonna".
