What travelers say:

The first permanent collection of the Dijon Museum comes from the Dijon School of Painting. In 1775, the School of Painting established its own "Roman Scholarship". Each year, the School selects a painting class and a sculpture class to study in the Eternal City, Rome. In return, students were offered a painting or sculpture by Linyi masters before the end of their four-year study. In the eighteenth and eighties, the east wing of the Duke's House was built to collect works from Italy and elsewhere. Linyi such as "Borghese gladiator", "Apollo of Belvedere", "Venus of Medici" are displayed in this neoclassical style exhibition hall. Looking up, it was a zenith painting of Pierre Paul Pludon, a scholar of the Roman Scholarship in 1784. At that time, the Burgundy Parliament was ambitious to copy the Victory of God at the Barberini Palace in Rome. Although Pluton was not impressed by the painting's author, he had to probably paint the painting as it was originally painted, replacing the logo of Pope Urban VIII with the badge and fable symbolizing Prince Conde, the Burgundy ruler at the time.
