"Constable's Salisbury Cathedral: Two Versions Reunited"
1999-09-21 until 1999-12-31
Frick Collection
New York, NY, USA United States of America

With this fall presentation, visitors will have an opportunity to examine John Constable's (1776 - 1837) method of working out changes in composition and atmosphere in a nearly completed, full-scale oil study and to observe the subtle differences between that canvas and a finished painting. Constable's Salisbury Cathedral: Two Versions Reunited is the next in a series of presentations that pairs a major loan from another institution with a related work at The Frick Collection. Juxtaposed will be The Frick Collection's Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Garden with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds. The paintings will be on view from September 21 through December 31, 1999 in the Library of The Frick Collection and will be accompanied by a brochure written by Associate Curator Susan Grace Galassi.
