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.
