A First

The Frick Collection is lending out a part of its collection for the first time in its history. And the Mauritshuis is honoured to be hosting this unprecedented event. Works of art purchased by Frick himself cannot leave the building in New York, in accordance with his will. But even after Frick’s death, the museum continued to acquire artworks that reflect his personal taste. A selection of works from that part of collection has been made for this exhibition. It comprises 36 art treasures.

Portrait of the Comtesse d’Haussonville, 1845

Cimabue (c. 1240-c. 1302)
