Cocktails with a Curator: Cimabue's "Flagellation of Christ"

- In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon examines the only work by Cimabue in a public collection in the United States, a small panel depicting "The Flagellation of Christ." Acquired by the Frick in 1950, the attribution of this work was a topic of debate until a sister panel was discovered in 2000, establishing that they once belonged to a larger ensemble by the 13th-century Florentine. (In 2019, a third fragment was discovered.) As a nod to the gold background, this week’s complementary cocktail is the Gold Rush, a drink invented in New York in the 1920s.

Brovo for choosing this gallery's piece during lent. Brovo for a magnificent presentation from your expert team.
Wonderful, thank you. I've learned immensely from "Cocktails with a Curator" series this year.
Very interesting how a connection in 2019 would pull the history together. Frick’s daughter had excellent taste as well.
Another fascinating talk, thank you, Xavier. I just went online and discovered that the recently rediscovered 'La dérision du Christ/Christ mocked' was sold for €24 million - no wonder no art gallery was able to acquire this!
I look forward to these presentations each Friday evening. Thank you for choosing something from the collection with such a fascinating back story. It heightens my anticipation of seeing it in person.
This was some of the best "writing" in the series. Beginning with Dante was a brilliant open.
This is fascinating. Thank you very much for going into so much detail.
Thanks to Aimee Ng, the Frick and you for these excellent productions! Always bringing new information to educate us! Bravo!
Absolutely fascinating; how I hope they find the missing pieces, whatever they are. Thank you Mr Salomon for illustrating how the name 'Cimabue' is pronounced, grazie!
Wonderful and illuminating talk. Thank you XS. Anyone, anywhere near The Frick Madison must go. It is an extraordinary experience to see that glorious collection in the new space.
It was just amazing to be able to see in person this little treasure knowing also the story behind it I miss the charm and cosyness of the Frick mansion but you did an incredible work at the Met Breuer I loved it
Wonderful episode.
I went to the Frick many times when I lived in New York. It is such a beautiful experience to still enjoy the collection in this way. Thank you for sharing this painting with a larger audience. Cheers🍸 🎨🥰
Thank you showing Cimabues works it is uptoday subject concerning easter and in this occasion l wish you all happy god blessed EASTER MR.SALAMON
What Frick & Xavier bring to the party is a sense of the long reach of great work. Am embarrassed to say I hadn't heard of this "teacher/discoverer" of Giotto.
Delighted for the kitchen mistress!

Fascinating and wonderful that major discoveries continue to be made. Thank you for this wonderful presentation.
Love getting a sense of the scale of these works.
I love these magical panel paintings. Am delighted the Frick has this in its collection.
Fascinating, thank you Xavier.
completely engaging ....thank you SB australia
Like other comments, the presentation of this beautiful art only makes me want to visit the collection more in person.
Thank you once again for the lecture.
Fascinating! A truly wonderful presentation.
Thank you! It was breathtakingly interesting!
Well done. Thank you!
Great story. Like a mystery solved.
thank you- always interesting
Very interesting vlog Xavier...thank you
3:55 In this particular painting Cimabue observes the young Giotto drawing a goat on a rock. He is tending goats, not sheep!
Paradoxically in numerous cases damaged works of art can be more suggestive and evocative than intact ones -I cite many ancient statues that have been discovered in a damaged state -the Venus de Milo,the Winged Victory of Samothrace,and numerous examples of male torsos minus heads,arms and legs-so perhaps a damaged giant Cimabue crucifix is not too bad after all!
Mr. Sharp mentions a historian who wrote beautifully about Bellini's Saint Francis , as well as other painters of Cimabue's period. I was unable to make out the spelling of his name..Something like Melo Meese ? I am very curious to find his book. Could someone be so kind as to verify his name ? Thanks in advance.
Millard Meiss (see Wikipedia entry), a prominent art historian; books mentioned: Painting in Florence and Siena after the Black Death (1951); The Painting of the Life of St. Francis in Assisi (1962). Also see his Giotto and Assisi (1960).
@@jeffreycunard5798 Thanks very much. Most kind of you to relay this information which might be helpful to others, as well.
why is art not more celebrated like back then
Dear Mr Salamon this Cimabue Jezus painting not known ecxactly just l loked up in my dicinary flagellation means "zerbrechlich"? to be broken down.Getting tired....Thanks anyway
Bonsoir from paris
bonjour de Californie
They are not sheep. They are goats.
@@monkeygraborange Sheep and goats are two different species. Grooming has nothing to do with it. Grooming a cat, for example, does not change it into a dog.
