Frick Perspectives:
The Glint of Gold: Early Italian Pictures
Nathaniel Silver, William and Lia Poorvu Curator of the Collection, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Delivered at The Frick Collection on January 25, 2020, this lecture explores the museum's works by Italian Renaissance masters Duccio and Piero della Francesca, as well as their acquisition by Helen Clay Frick, a collector whose taste was formed by her European travels following her father’s death, in 1919.

Many thanks and love to the American coal miners and steel workers, who laboured endless hours and years to create Frick's fortune with which he purchased these masterpieces that all of us now enjoy.

Thank you for this review. I try to start with these early masters when visiting a gallery. More gold saints and holy family.

I love the rather gossipy yet accurate description of the competition among the collectors of the day. If you make a book about this period and subject I will surely buy it. Wish your talk was twice as long. Thanks.

There is a great book called "Old Masters, New World" by Cynthia Saltzman that I can recommend. I agree this was an excellent lecture.

Thank you for such a glorious, in-depth and well-researched lecture. So interesting. In this day and age we are all thinking about the return of artworks to their rightful birthplace. Anna Maria Luisa de Medici in Florence ensured that the family collection would never leave that city. Hence the Uffizi with its priceless collection of Italian art in situ.
