The Frick Collection
The Frick Collection in New York ranks among the world's most prestigious art collections. It is the legacy of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), a powerful industrialist of the 19th century, who was regarded as one of the most discriminating collectors of his age. Frick spent only five years in his grand neoclassical townhouse, designed to serve both as a family residence and a private art gallery. The result is unique in terms of the quality of its contents and the luxurious domestic atmosphere in which they are shown. This title presents a selection of the most important works in The Frick Collection, as well as some of the remarkable interiors that house them. Each work is presented in color and accompanied by a succinct commentary. A short biography is provided on each artist, and additional information is given on elements of the architecture and decoration.

The Frick Collection
The Frick Collection was founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist, philanthropist and art collector. On his death, he bequeathed his New York residence and remarkable collection of western paintings, sculpture and decorative arts to the public. Designed and built in 1913-14, the mansion is reminiscent of the noble houses of Europe, providing a grand, domestic setting for the art from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century that it contains. The collection includes masterpieces by renowned artists such as Bellini, Constable, Fragonard, Goya, El Greco, Ingres, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Whistler, as well as superb examples of French eighteenth-century furniture, Italian Renaissance bronzes and Limoges enamels.
