Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag Resynced All Paintings Locations

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Resynced has 12 Painting Locations. Only 9 Paintings are needed to fill all the Art Collection slots in Great Inagua Manor for the Dilettante trophy & achievement. You can view them under Codex > Database > Art Collection: Paintings.

Paintings are not to be confused with the  11 Portraits, which are a different type of collectible for another trophy  The Memory of My Enemy.

9 Paintings come from raiding the  9 Warehouses, the rest can be bought from merchants on unmarked islands. Each Warehouse gives one Painting. They will briefly pop up on the right side after looting the Warehouse, and at the bottom of the Codex menu as your most recently collected item. Getting the Paintings is hence very straightforward: simply loot each Warehouse once. You can filter for Warehouse by pressing D-Pad Down on the map. You can still grab them after the story in free-roam. If you’ve already looted Warehouses check the Codex menu which Paintings you are missing. Each Warehouse requires a key that you find in the plantation around the Warehouse. The keys have predetermined locations on the first raid but then become randomized when you loot the Warehouses again. If you have trouble with a Warehouse you can simply buy the extra painting “Der Liederliche Student” from the shop on the unmarked (Coordinates: 550, 638), and he also sells 2 paintings you can get from Warehouses.

For  Dilettante to decorate the manor, you need all 41 Art Pieces (which include table decorations, cabinet decorations, furniture), 9 Paintings, 20 Ship Models, 11 Portraits, 18 Swords, 12 Pistols. They are listed here in Codex order.

Paintings (Codex Order)

Painting #1: Map of the World

Reward from Tortuga Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from a banana crate, slightly west from the center of the plantation.

Painting #2: Vanitas Still-life

Reward from Kingston North Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from enemy who patrols the manor in the north-east corner of the warehouse area.

Painting #3: An English Ship in Action with Barbary Vessels

Reward from New Bone Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot from enemy at the Mayan Stelae in the north-west corner of the island. He will stand there talking to his girlfriend.

Painting #4: Harbor Scene at Sunset

Reward from Nassau Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot key from enemy at the beach in the south-west of the warehouse area. You can also eavesdrop on two guards at the warehouse who give the hint he has the key.

Painting #5: Merry Company

Reward from Matanzas Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): In the south-west corner of the plantation where a crocodile icon is, loot it from the body behind the crocodile pond on the little corner island.

Painting #6: Nymphs By A Fountain

Reward from Kingston South Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from an enemy directly north of the big barn.

Painting #7: Saint Jerome as Cardinal

Reward from Havana Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Loot the key from an enemy in the north-west corner of the plantation.

Painting #8: The Burning of the Royal James

Reward from Cat Island Warehouse – automatically looted during Sequence 03 – Mission 05: Sugarcane and Its Yields. You’ll get the Painting automatically during this story quest, no need to loot the Warehouse again.

Key Location (1st Raid): Story-related in Sequence 03 – Mission 05: Sugarcane and Its Yields. Afterward the key will be randomized but you should already have the painting so no need to do it again.

Painting #9: The Flight into Egypt

Reward from Black Island Warehouse.

Key Location (1st Raid): Near the warehouse you can overhear two NPCs talking about the soldier with the key near the beach, then the objective marker updates. He stands at a campfire on the path leading to the south-west beach. There are reports that this can bug out for some players. One suspected cause is that Lucy’s 2nd Officer quest “The One with the Gun” can bug it out as it takes you to Black Island for quest objectives and affects the enemy spawns. If you defeated all enemies and none had the key, try finishing Lucy’s 2nd Officer quest (press on map to see her quests, available after Sequence 04 – Mission 01: This Old Cove), and then wait 2 hours (real time) for the Warehouse to reset and the enemies to respawn.

Painting #10, #11, #12: Der Liederliche Student, “Vanitas Still-life” by Pieter Cleasz, “Harbour Scene at Sunset” by Claude Lorrin

3 extra paintings can be bought for 2000 Reales each from a secret General Store on an unmarked island at Coordinates 550, 638. The two variants of “Vanitas Still-life” and “Harbour Scene at Sunset” are different from the paintings you get from the Warehouses (same painting name but different artist), and they count separately. The paintings you buy are also listed under a different heading in the codex “Strange Paintings” wheras the ones from Warehouses are listed under “Art Collection: Paintings”. They can all be hung in Great Inagua manor however.

That’s all of the Paintings in AC IV Black Flag (2026 Remake). For all other collectible types refer to the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced Collectible Guide.
