Here you can listen to a discussion of works of art on view at The Frick Collection. The Frick Collection was founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist. At his death, Mr. Frick bequeathed his New York residence and the most outstanding of his many artworks to establish a public gallery for the purpose of “encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts.” The art of The Frick Collection includes superb examples of Old Master paintings, sculpture and decorative arts. en Copyright © 1998-2009 The Frick Collection.

Bailey, Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator of The Frick Collection The history of these paintings -- one of the most powerful evocations of love in the history of art -- is linked with the career of the Comtesse du Barry, the last mistress of Louis XV. For a pleasure pavilion she commissioned from the architect Ledoux in 1771, the countess ordered from Fragonard four canvases depicting "the four ages of love." They are the large canvases flanking the fireplace and to the right, on the adjacent south wall. Together they illustrate a love story such as any of us might have known. Beginning on the south wall, they advance from a flirtatious proposal (a young man springs out to offer a girl a rose), to a furtive meeting at the left (the lover scales the wall of a garden), to consummation or marriage on the other side of the fireplace (the girl crowns her lover with roses), to the calm enjoyment of a happy union (the reading of the love letters). Yet, for all their beauty and passion, Madame du Barry soon returned the canvases to the artist and ordered replacements from another. Were the resemblances between the red-coated lover and Louis XV potentially embarrassing? Did the exuberant canvases seem a little old-fashioned amidst the cool neoclassicism of Ledoux's avant-garde pavilion? For whatever reason, Fragonard was left holding onto his creations for another twenty years. Then, adding seven more canvases, he installed the lot in a cousin's villa in southern France.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=23i--D-Ldfw:OJ-fJshhrgM:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheFrickCollection/~4/23i--D-Ldfw" height="1" width="1"/> Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), The Progress of Love: The Pursuit, 1771-73, oil on canvas, H. 125 in.

Bailey, Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator of The Frick Collection In Mr. Frick's day, Rembrandt was the most highly regarded Dutch old master. In our time, he has been supplanted by Vermeer. In place of Rembrandt's bombastic splendor and unrestrained emotions, Vermeer offered images of puritanical order and quiet harmony. Each age has its own aesthetic needs, it seems. This small picture presents the familiar components of a classic Vermeer: a man and a woman seen sharing a pleasant moment alone, in a comfortable interior flooded with golden light, and--you can almost feel it--cool air. Whatever the nature of the human exchange depicted here, it soon seems obvious that the real subject of the picture is light--the intangible light shown bursting in through the open window, breaking up reflections in the leaded panes, muffled through the curtains, caressing the soft plaster wall, lingering sporadically on glowing fabrics, sparkling glass, or the soft expanse of the vellum map (which depicts Holland, west at the top). But the light soon recedes into dark corners and will soon accent the young woman's beguiling face and soft kerchief differently. In this subtle fashion, Vermeer makes light a metaphor for time, and reminds us ever so gently of its inevitable consequences. Fortunate are we to have been permitted to eavesdrop on this golden moment. A few feet to your right hangs another work by Vermeer--the "Girl Interrupted at Her Music"--acquired by Mr. Frick in 1901. It was his first work by this artist, once called "the Sphinx of Delft."<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=i5fXRQqk7oM:9aynDech6uE:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheFrickCollection/~4/i5fXRQqk7oM" height="1" width="1"/> Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), Officer and Laughing Girl, 1655-60 and Girl Interrupted at Her Music, c. 1660 In Mr. Frick's day, Rembrandt was the most highly regarded Dutch old master.

She recalled that about a decade before she carved it, Mr. Frick had visited her studio to view a bust of his daughter that he had commissioned. In studying his face, Hoffman had been struck by how sympathetic and unhurried he had seemed. "I felt it inevitable," she noted, "that I would one day do his portrait." Henry Clay Frick was one of the most powerful and creative industrialists of the nineteenth century. He was born in 1849 on a farm in southwestern Pennsylvania. By the age of thirty, he had become a millionaire, as the leading supplier of coke to the growing steel industry of nearby Pittsburgh. His administrative skills impressed Andrew Carnegie, who invited him to become the manager of the vast Carnegie steel interests--the largest in the world. By 1900, the two men had fallen out. Mr. Frick, very rich with his settlement, could now turn to his private obsession--collecting great works of art--and establish his presence in New York City, along with his wife Adelaide Howard Childs, and their two children. Mr. Frick's interest in art was apparent very early on. His first recorded purchase--in 1881--was a landscape by a Pittsburgh artist. By the time of his death in 1919, Henry Clay Frick was regarded as one of the most discriminating collectors of all time.

Bailey, Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator of The Frick Collection The history of these paintings -- one of the most powerful evocations of love in the history of art -- is linked with the career of the Comtesse du Barry, the last mistress of Louis XV. For a pleasure pavilion she commissioned from the architect Ledoux in 1771, the countess ordered from Fragonard four canvases depicting "the four ages of love." They are the large canvases flanking the fireplace and to the right, on the adjacent south wall. Together they illustrate a love story such as any of us might have known. Beginning on the south wall, they advance from a flirtatious proposal (a young man springs out to offer a girl a rose), to a furtive meeting at the left (the lover scales the wall of a garden), to consummation or marriage on the other side of the fireplace (the girl crowns her lover with roses), to the calm enjoyment of a happy union (the reading of the love letters). Yet, for all their beauty and passion, Madame du Barry soon returned the canvases to the artist and ordered replacements from another. Were the resemblances between the red-coated lover and Louis XV potentially embarrassing? Did the exuberant canvases seem a little old-fashioned amidst the cool neoclassicism of Ledoux's avant-garde pavilion? For whatever reason, Fragonard was left holding onto his creations for another twenty years. Then, adding seven more canvases, he installed the lot in a cousin's villa in southern France.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?i=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?a=pkCrciVl4aU:hL9cfjijho4:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFrickCollection?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheFrickCollection/~4/pkCrciVl4aU" height="1" width="1"/> Video podcast of The Frick Collection's Fragonard Room panels, The Progress of Love The history of these paintings -- one of the most powerful evocations of love in the history of art -- is linked with the career of the Comtesse du Barry, the last mistress of Louis XV.
