Quadrangular baptismal =font= in pure Roman style. Very fine late 12th century =capitals=, taken from the ancient monastery of the Premonstrants of Dommartin (Pas-de-Calais). =Tomb= of black Tournai stone, belonging to the first half of the 15th century, representing _Knight Robert de Bouberch_ in armour. Very fine late 15th century =Virgin= of wood, painted and gilded, taken from the ancient church of the Minimes d'Amiens. A series of merry monks' =heads= with caricatured features, carved in oak at the end of the 15th century; very curious; were formerly corbels supporting the framework of a house in Amiens. III.--_Modern Sculpture._ _Puget_, rough =model= in terra-cotta, used for the "Hercule gaulois" in the Louvre. _Coysevox_, very fine marble =bust= of Regent Philip of Orléans. The wig is noteworthy, by reason of the exceeding delicacy of execution. Also =bust of Chauvelin=, intendant of Picardy. _Falguières_, bronze =bust of Gambetta=, particularly expressive. B.--Painting. The museum of paintings includes: I.--A series of =decorative paintings= by _Puvis de Chavannes_. II.--Suite of early 16th century pictures of the _Amiens School_. III.--Collections of the City (acquired and given by the State). IV.--Collections of the _brothers Lavalard_, given in 1890 to the City and comprising 371 pictures, including several very fine works of the French, Spanish, and Flemish schools. 1.--Paintings by Puvis de Chavannes: These paintings decorate the walls of the grand staircase leading to the first floor, and the gallery on the first floor known as the _Puvis de Chavannes Gallery_. 1. WALLS OF THE GRAND STAIRCASE: _Work and Repose._ _Ave Picardia Nutrix_ (1865)--_photos, p. 41._ _Pro Patria Ludus_ (1882), _one of the artist's masterpieces painted while he was at his very best_. 2. PUVIS DE CHAVANNES GALLERY: _The Spinner, The Reaper, The Standard-Bearer, and Desolation_ are four long panels between the windows. The first two relate to Peace (_Concordia_) and the other two to War (_Bellum_). The whole of the paintings by Puvis de Chavannes, having a surface measurement of more than two hundred square yards, were removed during a violent bombardment in the spring of 1918. Sappers belonging to the "_camouflaging_" section of the army, together with firemen from Paris, carefully detached the canvases with knives and rolled them up on cylinders. Some of them adhered so tenaciously to the walls that it was found necessary to cut away a certain thickness of stone with chisels at the same time as the canvas. The operation was entirely successful, all the paintings being intact, with the exception of a slight tear in the "_War_" panel caused by a shell splinter, prior to removal. It is probably in the museum of Amiens that one best realises the evolution in the decorative art of Puvis de Chavannes, as nearly a quarter of a century separates the first paintings from the last.
