Description:The Frick Collection, with its elegant interior and renowed art collection, is one of the most beautiful museums in the world. Housed in the impressive New York residence of the wealthy collector Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), it opened to the public in 1935. The collection, of the highest quality, is surprisingly varied. The great masters in the history of Western art are represented by paintings, sculpture, drawings and the decorative arts. Frick died in 1919, but since that time works that reflect his taste have been continually added to the collection. This book presents a selection of these later acquisitions, which include many iconic works such as Ingres's Portrait of the Comtesse d'Haussonville. It also provides background information on Frick and his collection and focuses on the Gilded Age, an era - roughly coinciding with Frick's life - during which the wealthiest Americans acquired some of Europe's most beautiful art treasures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
