Henry Clay Frick had a deep appreciation for Spanish painting, particularly the
work of El Greco, the extraordinary Greek artist who, after a brief period in Italy, spent most of his life in Toledo, Spain. Frick traveled to Spain twice and acquired three works by the artist between 1905 and 1913. Here they are displayed side by side for the first time in a presentation organized in concert with El Greco in New York (link is external) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Together, the two exhibitions show all of
El Greco鈥檚 work in New York public collections and mark the 400th anniversary of the painter鈥檚 death.
