Cimabue at the Frick Collection

Got to go to this show of Cimabue at the Frick Collection - it’s the kind of show you have to see.  The NYTimes review by Roberta Smith tells you all you need to know, here’s an excerpt:

Cimabue (about 1240-1302) is one of the Big Three — with Duccio and Giotto — who laid the groundwork for the early Italian Renaissance. His name is as weighty as it is mysterious, partly because so few of his works survive. This tiny exhibition makes his greatness crystal clear. At its center are two small works newly attributed to him, “The Flagellation of Christ,” which the Frick acquired in 1950, and “The Virgin and Child Enthroned With Two Angels,” a recently discovered work that is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London.

I will try to make it over to the Frick Collection this weekend, or next week, if I can.

The Frick Collection is not someplace I go to often these days, but did when I was younger.
