This rare Orange-Tree Planter, ca. 1680, is the largest faience piece known today. Its general shape was influenced by contemporary architecture, and the two large heads of Apollo on each side are characteristic of the Baroque style developed at the court of Versailles under Louis XIV. Such pots were used for orange and other fruit trees cultivated by the king, members of his family, and other wealthy aristocrats. They were placed inside orangeries, or greenhouses, during the winter, and, during...

This small vase by Valadier is of exquisite quality and made with an exotic and seldom used marble, rosso Appennino. This is the only known marble object by the artist to have gilt-silver mounts. The acorn on the top suggests that the vase may have been commissioned by the Chigi family of Rome, whose coat of arms included oak branches. Take a closer look during #ValadierattheFrick, on view through January 20. #frickcollection #valadier ___ Luigi Valadier (1726–1785), Vase, ca. 1775–80, Ro...

French Impressionist Claude Monet was born #onthisday in 1840. We celebrate with his painting, Vétheuil in Winter, 1878-79, on view in the North Hall of the museum. ___ In 1878 Monet moved down the Seine from Argenteuil to Vétheuil, a small town on a bend in the river. Over the next few years he would paint Vétheuil from different points of view and in every season, as seen from the riverbanks, from the meadows, and from a boat he had arranged as a kind of floating studio. It was during the...

Fans of the Frick’s painting Virgin and Child with St. Barbara, St. Elizabeth, and Jan Vos, ca. 1441–43, by Jan Van Eyck, may have noticed it went on view in our current exhibition with a new frame. Why the change? The former frame was a bit oversized and heavy for the picture, so we created a new frame that was more appropriate to the painting's scale and brought the subject it into tighter focus. Also, the new frame’s design was created following a thorough survey of paintings by Van E...
