Andrea del Verrocchio’s “Bust of a Woman” is identified as one of the earliest marble sculptures by the fifteenth-century Florentine artist. This bust is one of three marble sculptures welcoming visitors on the third floor of #FrickMadison. The young woman portrayed here turns her head slightly, as if responding to someone nearby. The delicate pose was clearly intended to be seen from the front. Viewed in profile, the figure has a rigidity that suggests the work of a young master not yet able to reconcile the different viewpoints of a marble sculpture. — Andrea del Verrocchio (Italian, 1435−1488), Bust of a Woman, ca. 1460−70. Marble, 18 5/8 x 19 3/16 x 9 3/8 in. (47.3 x 48.7 x 23.8 cm). The Frick Collection, New York, bequest of John D. Rockefeller Jr.

A moment for the clouds ☁️ This work belongs to a large series of oil studies in which Constable, who was #bornonthisday, recorded the sky at various times of day and under different meteorological conditions. — John Constable (1776–1837), Cloud Study, ca. 1822, oil on paper, laid down on board, The Frick Collection, bequest of Henrietta E.S. Lockwood in memory of Ellery Sedgwick and Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, 2000

Happy birthday to Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, who was #bornonthisday in 1599! In this portrait of King Philip IV, the artist exhibits total control of the brush. The brilliant rose tunic stands out against the plain umber background, while the hat and baton seem almost abstract against the elaborate details of the clothing. Velázquez’s masterful technique is evident everywhere on the canvas. — Diego Velázquez (1599–1660), King Philip IV of Spain, 1644. Oil on canvas, 51 1/8 × 39 1/8 in. (129.9 × 99.4 cm). The Frick Collection, New York

"Nicolas Party and Rosalba Carriera" is now on view at #FrickMadison! The preeminent artist working in pastels today, Nicolas Party created his site-specific mural in response to Rosalba Carriera's "Portrait of a Man in Pilgrim's Costume," an eighteenth-century pastel from the Frick's permanent collection. Party's murals include elaborate draperies that highlight Rosalba's drawing, at center, along with two additional pastel portraits he created in response to it. The large-scale installation is ephemeral, lasting only for the duration of our time at Frick Madison. — Installation views of "Nicolas Party and Rosalba Carriera." Photos: Joseph Coscia Jr.

Did you know? Jean-Siméon Chardin's "Still Life with Plums" was the first still life painting to enter The Frick Collection. Chardin approaches this simple collection of plums, squash, a bottle, and a glass with gravity and a respect for the objects' forms, reflections, and the spaces between them. — Jean-Siméon Chardin (French, 1699–1779), Still Life with Plums, ca. 1730. Oil on canvas, 17 3/4 × 19 3/4 in. (45.1 × 50.2 cm). The Frick Collection, New York

Happy #MemorialDay 🌞 from Turner's "Early Summer Morning." How are you going to kick off your summer season? — Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, 1775–1851), Mortlake Terrace: Early Summer Morning, 1826. Oil on canvas, 36 5/8 x 48 1/2 in. (93 x 123.2 cm). The Frick Collection, New York

Ring in the holiday weekend with a close look at this decorative bronze bell. 🔔 To produce a pleasing tone, bells, whether belfry-sized or small like this one, must be cast flawlessly. While too many decorative details can spoil the sound, this piece is covered with bold reliefs, a testimony to the skill of its caster. Winged children dance around its base, in between images of seven bound rods above a bunch of fruit and leaves. A putto serves as the bell's handle, seated above spiky acanthus leaves growing at the top. Swipe to take a closer look at the details ➡️ — Vincenzo Grandi (1493–1577) and Gian Girolamo Grandi (1508–1560), Hand Bell, probably before 1539. Bronze, h. 6 5/8 in. (16.8 cm). The Frick Collection, New York
