I was refering to the private collections/hordes that were gathered by the top officials, but yeah, there was still lots that got destroyed.
Most of it was relatively recent work, though. I don't think any Renaissance paintings were destroyed, though a lot certainly disappeared and was scattered (I personally think it's all at the bottom of a lake in the Alps)
