The art of Paolo Veronese (1528–1588) is inextricably linked to the idea of opulence and splendor in Renaissance Venice. His paintings are grandiose visions of the richness and spectacle of sixteenth-century Venetian life. Crowded compositions with theatrical effects, in which groups of sumptuously dressed people re-enact religious and secular events, have become synonymous with Veronese’s oeuvre, and his dazzling and effective use of color has been praised and celebrated over the centuries.

Welcome Home: The Boucher Room

The Frick Collection’s renovated home has officially reopened! Among many highlights, the public can for the first time access the Frick mansion’s second floor, with a brand-new suite of galleries in former domestic spaces. Two years after our first video on one of these galleries, the Boucher Room, we invite you to check back in on the space in its final stages.

A New Old Home

Round out your sneak peek into the Frick’s second floor in our latest behind-the-scenes video! Live from the renovation site, Xavier F. Salomon, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, explores three new galleries: the medals room, the gold-ground paintings room, and the Walnut Room. Originally domestic spaces of the Frick family and later staff spaces, all of these rooms will—for the first time—be open to the public and showcase important small-scale paintings and sculptures.
