A pair of large canvases with hunting dogs by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1742), now hanging in the "Salle du synode", once hung in the Parisian "hôtel particulier" of Samuel-Jacques Bernard. The three paintings in the chapel are copies of works by Antonio da Correggio: "Adoration of the Shepherds", "Virgin and Child with Sts Jerome and Madeleine", and "The Rest on the Return from Egypt". They were made in 1724 in Modena and Parma by Robert deSéry (1686–1733) for Armand Gaston, whom he had met in Rome the same year. DeSéry would later provide many other paintings for the cardinal's apartments, all of them copies of paintings by greater masters. Napoleon's green bed is an authentic work by Jacob-Desmalter.
