Organized in conjunction with Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture, this Cabinet installation presents twenty-four hand-colored engravings that depict French fashion in the late eighteenth century. These plates are selected from Gallerie des modes et costumes français (1778–87), the largest and most influential series of its day. Despite their aesthetic appeal and cultural significance, most copies of Gallerie des modes were destroyed during the French Revolution. The Frick Art Research Library has an impressive collection of three hundred and seventy original prints, a selection of which will be on view at the Frick for the first time.

This groundbreaking exhibition presented more than forty rare objects from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. These treasures were donated by European Catholic monarchs and Holy Roman Emperors in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the church in Jerusalem, the religious center of the Christian faith, and have been safeguarded and used ever since by the Franciscan friars who maintain the site.
