For the next two years, the Frick will be home to a pair of superb late fifteenth-century Florentine panel paintings, on loan from The Mari-Cha Collection. The panels, which depict scenes from the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, were recently shown at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition Art and Love in Renaissance Italy. These brilliantly colored narratives offer a fresh perspective on many of the Frick's Renaissance masterworks, including Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert and Piero della Francesca's luminous St. John the Evangelist.
