We recommend that you do not miss the following seven masterpieces when visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art. First of all, in front of the entrance is a damaged statue by Auguste Rodin called The Thinker. On Level 2, Gallery 201 contains Cupid and Psyche, a fascinating painting by the French Neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David. It shows Cupid as an awkward teenager who is proud that he just made love to the most beautiful woman on Earth.
Gallery 213 contains Dutch masterpieces. The Portrait of Tieleman Roosterman by Frans Hals is noteworthy. It shows a three-quarter length portrait of a rich textile merchant. Frans Hals is uniquely able to paint the character of the subject, and also shows his expertise in using different shades of black to create a stunning portrait.

Gallery 217 contains many masterpieces, but a couple of them deserve special attention. The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew is an amazing painting by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio. It shows the moment that Saint Andrew dies on the cross after having preached to the onlookers for two days. Further down the room is Interior of the Pantheon by Giovanni Paolo Panini. This Veduta painting from the 18th century shows a truthful depiction of the inside of one of the most famous buildings in Rome.

Continuing to the East Wing of Level 2, Gallery 222 contains many wonderful Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. A couple of pieces deserve special attention. The Apple Seller by Pierre-Auguste Renoir shows a cheerful scene of the 19th-century French countryside. The brushstrokes are clearly visible in this painting, and its content is clearer from a distance than from nearby. Elsewhere in Gallery 222 are three paintings by Vincent van Gogh. His painting of Adeline Ravoux provides a ghostlike image of the girl who was prominently featured in the 2017 movie Loving Vincent.
