Descrizione The Eveillard Gift
Lavish illustrations of the works of the Frick Collection's Eveillard Gift with comprehensive commentaries by noted scholars in their field. This beautiful publication presents for the first time the Eveillard Gift of drawings to the Frick Collection in New York, the most important gift of drawings and pastels in the museum's history. It accompanies an exhibition and includes a catalog of the works and commentaries by noted scholars. Twenty-six works of art promised to the Frick Collection by longtime supporters Elizabeth and Jean-Marie Eveillard dramatically advance the museum's commitment to the research and display of European drawings. Included in this transformative gift are exquisite drawings, pastels, and prints by François Boucher, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Thomas Lawrence, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, John Singer Sargent, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, and Jean-Antoine Watteau, among others. The works include figurative sketches, independent studies, portraits, and landscape scenes, each either deepening the museum's celebrated holdings or bringing the work of an artist who is not--but should be--represented in the collection.
