The Frick Collection is beautifully situated in the heart of New York, with a view on Central Park. It is a cherished museum, famous for the high quality of its collection. For the first time The Frick Collection is lending a large part of its world-class collection: no fewer than 36 masterpieces can be admired at the Mauritshuis.
The exhibition includes work by artists otherwise not or barely represented in Dutch museum collections, such as Cimabue, Van Eyck, Gainsborough, Constable, and Ingres.
