The Rehearsal by Edgar Degas--born #onthisday in 1834--is probably the canvas entitled École de danse that he entered in the fourth exhibition of the Impressionists in 1879. It is one of many compositions devoted to the dance that the artist produced in the 1870s, apparently fascinated with the mechanization of the human body that the rigorous discipline of the ballet imposed. In the same exhibition of 1879 Degas showed two other pictures of dancers practicing with a violinist. In all of them t...
'Art is the Way' Edmund de Waal and The Frick Collection at P.S. 84'Art is the Way' is a cultural initiative between The Frick Collection and P.S. 84, the Lillian Weber School of the Arts. As part of this initiative, on May 31, 2019, fourth grade students met with artist and writer Edmund de Waal and curator Charlotte Vignon to discuss sculpture, materials, and portraiture.
One of the highlights of a visit to the Frick’s Library gallery is the Barometer Clock, ca. 1690-1700. This extraordinary piece is attributed to André-Charles Boulle – cabinetmaker to King Louis XIV. Boulle was known for the high quality of his gilt-bronze work, his fondness for spiral feet, and for popularizing a new kind of marquetry, which combined contrasting materials including tortoiseshell, brass and pewter. Here, he has brought together his signature metal marquetry with low-relief ...

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot was born #onthisday in 1796. We celebrate the artist with this oil sketch, The Arch of Constantine and the Forum, Rome, 1843. This work was probably made during the last of his three trips to Italy, which took place that same year. Corot must have painted while at the sight, facing northwest along the main axis of the Roman Forum. This view was one admired and recorded by other artists — for example, J. M. W. Turner. #frickcollection #corot

Rembrandt van Rijn, born #onthisday in 1606, was one of the most prolific self-portraitists of all time. He painted more than sixty self-portraits and drew and etched his likeness repeatedly. This work, from 1658, is the largest of these works and perhaps the ultimate one, not only for its poignant revelations of the self, but for its painterly magnificence. #frickcollection #rembrandt

Final weekend for #TiepoloinMilan, on view through Sunday! ___ This painting of Apollo and Phaëton, ca. 1735–40, depicts the same episode that Tiepolo frescoed on one of the five ceilings of Palazzo Archinto. While in the other renderings of this scene, Tiepolo showed Phaëton asking his father to drive the chariot of the Sun, in this painting, Phaëton is on his way. He steps forward, naked, barely covered by a yellow drape, holding a torch. He clasps his father's right hand, as he kisses it...

He purchased more works (including paintings, etchings, and pastels) by the artist than by any other.

“I'm finally in the Fragonard Room, which of course is one of the most theatrical places in America. We're in France, and yet we're on 5th Avenue. With Central Park over there, it's an extraordinary mixture of places and histories simultaneously. And in fact, that's kind of the point of the place: it's about being in one place, and being simultaneously somewhere else. It's about desire.” —Edmund de Waal describes ‘on an archaic torso of Apollo,’ 2019, porcelain, steel, gold, alabaster,...
