Bellini and Giorgione in the House of Taddeo Contarini - In-Person Lecture

The Frick Collection will be hosting a rare masterpiece from November 9, 2023 to February 4, 2024 loaned from Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum: Giorgione’s "Three Philosophers." The painting will reunite with the Frick's own "St. Francis in the Desert" by Giovanni Bellini, two paintings once owned by the Venetian merchant Taddeo Contarini and displayed for many decades in his Venetian palazzo. Professor Thomas Germano will present a visual lecture discussing the two great Venetian Renaissance artists, their patron Taddeo Contarini, and his art collection.
