Cocktails with a Curator: Rosalba Carriera's Portraits
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2021
- In this week’s “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon celebrates Women’s History Month by examining two exquisite pastels by Rosalba Carriera that recently entered the collection through a bequest from Alexis Gregory and are on view for the first time on the third floor of Frick Madison. Celebrated for her technically innovative pastel portraits, Rosalba was one of the most famous artists of 18th-century Italy, particularly remarkable given the male-dominated society in which she lived. This week’s complementary cocktail is the Vesper Martini.

FEATURED COCKTAIL: Vesper (gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc, with a twist); the mocktail is lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda. For the complete recipes, visit www.frick.org/cocktails-curator

My favourite!
Thank you for this informative reflection of this FABULOUS artist, Ms. Rosalba!!! I was introduced to one of her masterpieces, years ago, and fell in love with her deeply detailed pieces, especially “The Young Lady of the Le Blond Family.”
Mr.Salamon this lady was a great succesfull and sorrily tragical artist.Rosalbas pastels can may bee my favourite artist. THAN YOU SHOWING AGAIN.
Thank you so much for 49 episodes! They have been the highlight of the week this year. And, as a tour guide, I know how much research and time these episodes take.
Wonderful presentation! Thank you!
Best one yet. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you, Xavier!
Wonderful lecture! Thank you!
One of his best. Fascinating.
The story of this splendid woman and her art is another journey into the frailty of greatness. Thank you for such a tender presentation. I can only wish to see them, but your description of holding the Maji card with her poignant hope of safe delivery will not leave me. 🙏💐
Dear Mr Salamon Rosalba Carriera was a gteat artist from my point of wie also and could rise jelousy in my heart but really tragic to bee blind for 7 last years.Coming from Venice with an educated backgruond all over like court of France with Anton Manetti she deserves wiht here beautiful pastells a place in arthistory and lets not forget here.Thanks!
One of the most interesting lessons. I didn' t know Rosalba Carriera. Grazie. Un saluto da Roma.
Absolutely wonderful, thank you! I log on after work every week!
Amazing story, well articulated!
Passed the Frick at Madison the other day going uptown on the bus. Reminded myself to go soon. Great lecture!
So happy the warm weather has returned.
Grazie mille per la storia di Rosalba! Cocktails with a curator é sempre fantastico!
Beautiful...illuminating!
Absolutely a delight--thank you!
A tour de force Xavier you deserve what Fleming called a "solid" drink. I love that crowd of Rosalba's at the Gemaldegalerie in Dresden its like stepping into a room full of mid 18th century people who are vivid and recognisably human. She was such a great artist.
What a fascinating artist and one I hadn't heard of before. Love the idea of those little 'passports' going around the world with her pastels. Curators everywhere are now checking the back of those pictures......!
So looking forward to this week!
One of the best episodes. Thanks!
Wide-ranging and beautifully focused on one of the most fascinating artists of her time, and I'm so pleased that the Frick continues to grow. Somehow I suspect the two new portraits are Austrian nobility: their slight haughtiness, their physicality, their impeccable breeding. I hope that when all the diaries of the 1700s have been digitized, it'll be a cinch to search for who sat for Rosalba, and when. Researchers will amass her database in the near future! Thank you, Xavier! PS That martini is the ONLY way to enjoy Lillet.
Many times I have stood mesmerized in the Chicago Art Institute looking at the woman with pearls and parrot. Thank you for this fascinating video on Rosalba! Looking forward to seeing your 2 additions one day.
Thank-you for tacking me beyond borders..
Thank you for this wonderful half-hour during which I can think of things much more entertaining and beautiful than the pandemic. Although I studied art history at one point, I was not well versed in Italian painters so it was wonderful to be introduced to Rosalba Carriera. And I love the tiny, secret notes asking for the protection of the Magi as the paintings traveled to their various destinations!
Fantastic, as always. Thank you for the wonderful cocktail a!nd amazing history lesson of this incredible female artist
Incredibly interesting. Thank you. How can such a delicate medium such as pastel survive so beautifully over centuries.
Finally!!!! Thank you very much!!
Thank you for featuring some pastel works, and especially by the marvelous Rosalba! As an artist, I love working in pastel. It is a beautiful medium, and underrated IMO.
Thank you, sig. Xavier-another wonderful video!!
Thank you!
Brilliant presentation ! I am a fan of pstels.
As ever, the perfect blend of profound scholarship and absolute accessibility.
Look forward to these episodes each week. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job.
Infinitas gracias por la deliciosa educación que nos das querido Xavier, realmente es un lujo escucharte y espero algún día ir a NYC a ver personalmente las maravillas del museo incluyendo al curador. Saludos desde Magallanes, Chile. 🇨🇱
This is my first "Cocktails with a Curator". I have known about Rosalba from studying miniature painters. She is right up there with the best.
As for the speaker, Xavier, His presentation was excellent. A clear and concise historical explanation without the terms that require you to use a dictionary whenever many art historians and critics speak. I look forward to more of these. Thank you
This was the most interesting and sweetest video of the entire series. Beautifully presented. Thank you very much.
Ah, how I have loved this channel. Such a beautiful blessing, such a gift. I am dying to go! If you have enjoyed it as much, do donate. You will feel phenomenal!
Great episode! I'm so glad to have learned about this artist, especially considering how women are still be recast out of side characters to main characters of art history.
(Though, I think the cocktail inspired by Bond Girls was perhaps not the deftest choice for an underrated female artist, considering Bond Girls have are notoriously instrumentalized side characters in the Bond series)
So interesting. Grazie from Piedmonte.
I adore your cocktails with a curator. Always super interesting and informative.
Your lectures and insights are absolutely wonderful
In questi giorni è il compleanno di Venezia...degna celebrazione di una grande artista di una città strepitosa.Grazie infinite come sempre
Great episode and a wonderful cocktail
Great to know about Rosalba Carriera. As always, I appreciate the details such as the santinos found behind some of her paintings, and knowing some aspects of her personal life. Thanks!
Delightful and fascinating as always. I loved the Frick Madison. The installations are elegant and illuminating.
Grazie mille per questa presentazione sensibile e personale. Una donna e artista dotata, instancabile e incredibile. I so enjoyed your highly personal appraisal and presentation, especially the discovery of the santino 300 years later. Isn't history and art amazing...
Thank you so much for speaking about Rosalba. I have not heard of her before and I am glad of your presentation. What drive she must have had to create all these portraits! Congratulations on the new additions to the Frick. Only recently discovered your Cocktail with a Curator series, and my only regret is not finding this earlier. Great thanks for your expertise. Cheers!
Very fascinating discussion. Thank you
This series was a tremendous gift to the public and supporters of the Frick. It helped keep me sane during the worst periods of Covid. Is there any way to convince you, Mr. Salomon, to continue this effort on a monthly basis? Thanks for considering this.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Thank for introducing me to a new artist! Fascinating as always.
this cocktail recipe and description made me want to both drink it and reread Casino Royale.
Brilliant !! Thank you, Xavier!!
very moving, great episode again
Fascinating, as always!!
Watched a l l of these
...oh how i miss nyc and the Frick....just terrific, every one!
Can’t thank you enough for continuing to bring us these wonderful vignettes!
Wonderful,
Super good one.
Thank you. Extremely interesting!
I thought it was the same person in drag. I went to the Frick with my parents like 15 years ago. If you're going to the Met already it's right across the street. Beautiful house. The art everywhere is definitely worth seeing but the house alone is pretty impressive.
She was a wonderful artist!
Cheers to you too. Such a grand lady, Rosalba. S workaholic for sure...
Terrific presentation about a great artist new to me; thank you! Could you give more details about the Dresden pastel of the guy with the Turkish costume (around 20:25)? That guy must have been quite a character!
Mr.Salamon Director of Frick Collection it is a great pleasure again to see some more arts like Rosalba pastell I finde them very fine works.The colours and flowers are espcially nice.Sorry here tragical blindness and death which is for nobody avoidable like nowdasy as you mentioned Mr. Gregorys art books collectors .My condolacion for him.Anyway about Kolns Ckathedrals treasure reliquias adoration of 3 Kings I dodnt know .It anoying brcause 18 years old visiting my oncle I went more times to "that hause of King Jezus" Kolner Dom and I dont remember Bethlehems Satze.So knowing more and more forgetting also but remains in my brain in 64 a part of them and must fill up again. Have a quiete weekend thanks again By by Arrideverci Aufwiedersehen Salute Revoile

Was Rosalba Carriera known to be gender fluid? It is so interesting how the self portrait seems to reveal a masculine version of Rosalba and a feminine version of Rosalba. Are these self portraits revealing two different identities, one closer to reality, than the other?
That was my first thought when I saw the first self-portrait! Not even sure why, but there is something about her...
All the bullshit about drinks and Bond ends and real video begins @4:45
Finally! Thank you very much!
