"El Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia (en valenciano, Museu de Belles Arts de València) es un museo de titularidad estatal, gestionado por la Generalidad Valenciana. Por la importancia de sus colecciones, es uno de los primeros museos de pintura de España, siendo un claro referente en cuanto a maestros valencianos antiguos. Es de relevancia internacional su colección de tablas góticas valencianas de los siglos XIV y XV, si bien algunas de sus joyas más conocidas son el Autorretrato de Velázquez y dos obras de maestros italianos: un retablo completo de Gherardo Starnina y una Virgen con el Niño y donante de Pinturicchio.

En 1913, mediante un real decreto de 24 de julio, el Museo queda desligado oficialmente de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos, convirtiéndose desde entonces en una institución autónoma dependiente del Estado y regida por un Patronato.

Durante la Guerra Civil el Museo, por aquel entonces situado en el antiguo convento del Carmen Calzado, fue desmontado y usado como almacén del Tesoro Artístico, y se trasladaron parte de sus fondos a Madrid y fueron depositados en el Museo del Prado.

D. Manuel González Martí, director del Museo, una vez acabada la Guerra Civil gestionó la recuperación de estos fondos y encargó un informe el 5 de septiembre de 1939, que evaluase los daños sufridos por el edificio conventual durante la contienda con la intención de rehabilitarlo, no se llevó a cabo tomándose la decisión de trasladarlo entonces al Colegio Seminario de San Pío V"

"The Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia (in Valencian, Museu de Belles Arts de València) is a state-owned museum, managed by the Valencian Government. Due to the importance of its collections, it is one of the first painting museums in Spain, being a clear reference in terms of ancient Valencian masters. Its collection of Valencian Gothic panels from the 14th and 15th centuries is of international relevance, although some of its best-known jewels are the Self-portrait of Velázquez and two works by Italian masters: an altarpiece complete by Gherardo Starnina and a Madonna with Child and donor by Pinturicchio.

In 1913, by means of a royal decree of July 24, the Museum was officially separated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, becoming since then an autonomous institution dependent on the State and governed by a Board of Trustees.

During the Civil War the Museum, at that time located in the old Carmen Calzado convent, was dismantled and used as a warehouse for the Artistic Treasure, and part of its collections were moved to Madrid and deposited in the Prado Museum.

Mr. Manuel González Martí, director of the Museum, once the Civil War was over, managed the recovery of these funds and commissioned a report on September 5, 1939, which evaluated the damage suffered by the convent building during the war with the intention of rehabilitating it. , was not carried out and the decision was made to transfer it to the Seminary College of San Pio V."
