General John Guise bequeathed his collection of over 200 paintings and almost 2000 drawings to his former college, where it arrived after his death in 1765. This extraordinary gift enabled Christ Church to introduce art into Oxford education without the necessity to travel to Italy or to gain access to stately homes, which still held the majority of art collections in the country. Bernardo Daddi Four Musical Angels (about 1340) (Egg tempera on wood - Fox-Strangways Gift, 1828) The collection was reinforced by the subsequent gifts by the Hon. A number of subsequent gifts and bequests of paintings enabled Christ Church’s art collection to grow. The collection is strongest in Italian art, from the 14th to the 18th century.
