Among the many collectibles you can find and/or complete in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are the Art Collection items. These include a range of decorations and paintings—there are also Manuscripts, but those are not relevant here—that can be displayed throughout the Great Inagua mansion. The game requires you to fill every display slot to earn an achievement/trophy, so you will need to know how to obtain all these collectibles.
Bear in mind that you will need every single one of them to decorate every part of the mansion. You can check which ones you already have in the Codex.
All these paintings require you to make progress through the story before they appear in certain locations or their related quests become available. The names and order below match the Codex exactly, so if you are missing something, make sure you are checking the correct slot in the list. To save yourself some trouble, wait until you have finished the story before collecting most of them, since they generally appear after the character depicted in the portrait dies. This will also help you avoid spoilers.
These collectibles are the only ones that require some additional explanation to obtain. They must also be displayed in specific locations around the Great Inagua mansion. Once you have hung them all, you will receive the Great Inagua Treasure Map and Haytham Kenway's Overcoat.
Obtained by completing the Blackbeard's Treasure quest. The painting is hung in the basement corridor, just before the treasure room. You can reach it through the secret passage behind the bookcase in the corner of the map room.
Obtained by completing Captain Stede Bonnet. The painting is hung as part of the quest.
It can be found in Nassau, inside the mansion in the western part of the city (589,757).

It can be found inside the Great Inagua mansion, in the room containing the fireplace and weapon racks.

If you do not collect it during the quest, you can return after completing it. To hang it at Great Inagua, head to the underground area where you display the Blackbeard and Stede portraits. Maynard's portrait is placed before the corridor, just after heading down the stairs.
This painting can be found in the mansion to the west-northwest of Kingston (594,174).

This painting appears in central Kingston (618,171).
It is in a kind of corridor within the mansion grounds. Once you have the marker, it is very easy to find. At Great Inagua, it must be displayed in the basement corridor.
You will find this portrait in the castle northwest of Havana (204,608).
Climb onto the castle wall and drop down from the northern side onto some wooden scaffolding. This will allow you to enter the tower and collect the painting. It is displayed in the Great Inagua map room, in the corner to the right of the table containing the Kenway's Fleet map.
To obtain this portrait, head to the northern tower of the fort northeast of Havana (225,596).

Ship Models are miniature ships obtained by completing certain requirements or by sinking specific types of vessel. For example, to receive the Spanish Cutter model, you must sink one of the small Spanish vessels found in Dry Tortuga or Gibara.
These three paintings have similar names to others in the Paintings section, but they are different items—two of them, at least, since the first has a unique name.
You will also need to display all 18 Swords and 12 Pistols on the weapon racks if you want to earn the achievement/trophy for fully decorating Great Inagua.
