Frick Collection

This is second time I went to the Frick Collection; it is an art museum located 1 E. 70 ST in Manhattan and designed by Thomas Hastings; constructed in 1913-1914. Henry Clay Frick, was the former residence in this house, was a famous steel industry.

The Frick is one of the preeminent small art museums in the US, with high quality collection of old master paintings housed in 16 galleries, many of them arranged according to Frick’s design. What impressed me were the two large Chinese porcelains Covered Jars with French Gilt-Bronze Mounts; became very popular in French that Mr. Frick purchased at the early 19 centuries for his house. I realized how the Chinese antique had been treasured up in 100 years from now.

Why people wants to visit the Frick Museum one of the reasons because he owns unique paintings. This is one of the unique paintings, Johannes Vermeer, 1632-75, Dutch. Officer and Laughing Girl, c 1655-60 of about Thirty-Five paintings accepted as original works by Vermeer, The Frick Collection owns three.

I bought a postcard which is one of the paintings in his house by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1841-1919, French. Mother and Children, Renoir’s first painting of a theme he would treat often is a masterpiece of his Impressionist period. I do enjoy this Museum and recommended if you guys into arts, you do not want to miss The Frick Museum.
