This page will provide a walkthrough for the side quest Art Lover in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a new quest added in the remake that tasks you with scouring the Caribbean in search of Lady Catherine Ann Summers’ scattered collection. Naturally, this includes providing the location of every such art piece required to complete the quest!

During “This Old Cove” you’ll be asked by Bernard Woodhouse to recover Lady Summers’ art collection.
Starting Art Lover¶
Quite likely the first new quest you’ll stumble upon, to unlock the side quest Art Lover you need to advance the main questline until you reach the quest This Old Cove (Formerly Sequence 04: Memory 01). After following James Kidd around you’ll end up in the manor, surfacing from the caves Kidd led you through, where you’ll be bothered by one Bernard Woodhouse, butler to the late owner of the estate, Lady Catherine Ann Summers. This quest cannot be missed - it’ll begin as long as you advance the main questline far enough.
Finding the Art Pieces¶
This quest is somewhat piecemeal - you’ll be initially tasked with finding 15 art pieces, after which you’ll have to report back to Woodhouse, then you’ll need to get 25, and so on. The art Lady Summers collected was surprisingly varied, including paintings, indigenous relics (ethically sourced, no doubt), ship models, and more.
The means of obtaining all these are equally diverse: Some can be found in chests, obtained by looting warehouses, purchased from merchants, or, in the case of model ships, acquired automatically when you sink or capture a ship of the same description. This latter method covers a fair few of the art pieces you need to find - the first time you best a Cutter, Schooner, Brig, Frigate or Man-o-War you’ll get a model, with English and Spanish variants yielding unique art pieces. In addition you’ll need to advance the main questline as every famous ship you step foot on also seems to offer you a new ship model; in fact, The Revenge will probably be the first art piece you collect as part of progressing the main story, well before this side quest even starts.
Suffice to say, you’ll have to play a lot of the game to find enough art pieces to complete this quest, engage in a variety of activities (side quest, main quest and extraneous activities), so it’s not a quest you’ll just be able to focus on and complete in a single go. Below you’ll find a list of all the art pieces we’ve found and where we obtained them:
