Thank you so very much for all the episodes of "Travels" and "Cocktails". I look forward to each new video and you never fail provide a refreshing journey into the vast world of art, history, and travel. I especially enjoy hearing all the names of the various artists and places pronounced so beautifully and correctly! Please keep enriching our minds with all the beauty of this world.
Thank you so much for doing these videos! Just love learning from you, so much history. And you tie things together, and that really gives me a better appreciation for the objects’ place in history. Excellent.
Like all your presentations this was intriguing and fascinating. I was fortunate to have visited Dresden and the Meissen factory while on a bicycle trip along the Elbe to Prague. It was before the reconstruction of the FrauenKirchen. I was especially looking for the Raphael Madonna with the two cherubs at the bottom. I would love to go back and do it again having gained greater information and understanding. I realized as I watched this discussion that there was so much more to see and do. I would love to return . Thank you for the memories.
Such a wonderful presentation. Learned so many new things. Have never focused on the porcelain on my many visits to the Frick, but will do so in the future.
Very interesting and informative. Thank you very much, Frick museum. Your videos accompany in many lockdown moments. Most grateful. I would like to visit Dresden again under your recommendation.
Thank you for this new journey into the world of art. We have visited Dresden some years ago, but we didn't know that Bellotto 's painting was used for the rebuilding. Very interesting. See you next Friday and next Wednsday. Saluti da Roma.
Grazie Xavier i viaggi ed i cockails in tua compagnia hanno reso questo periodo meno cupo e triste Spero di poter tornare presto alla Frick per guardare le opere che hai commentato con tutto l'entusiasmo di chi ha dovuto attendere a lungo per rivedere qualcosa di bello
Augustus the Strong's grand daughter Maria Amalia married the king of Naples and brought sets of Meissen with her but later also brought in Saxon craftsmen to establish the Capodimonte porcelain factory which produced very prestigious ceramics in its own right.
Had a quick look at the word "bustard" in Wikipedia and it said that the bustard is a very fast running bird not a slow one so the Latin words for it "avis tarda" or slow bird is inexplicable.
"It's in fact the exact opposite of a roadrunner." "Picking" and "plucking" it's feathers. You amaze me with your art and history knowledge and I look forward to each new episode (and suggest they continue post shutdown as they are truly fabulous) but your ornithology needs some work. 🙂

I watched while breakfasting. So much more delightful than reading the newspapers. Thank you and thank you.
Your episodes are absolutely outstanding. You are knowledgeable, articulate and engaging...a rare combination 👍
You are always a refreshing moment.

Always a new idea, an exciting piece of art not familiar before. 🇨🇦
Great series, great, engaging narration, just the right length to polish off a G&T, keep going! The Frick is my favourite museum in the world.

Wonderful and every educational episode, great work. You have helped me fill in some very important information.
Thank you for the interesting story
Bellotto's paintings were often used in rebuilding!! Bellotto is one of my favorite painters!

Beautiful bird and sculpture, poor subjects of Augustus, traded and perhaps died for porcelain.
Had a quick look at the word "bustard" in Wikipedia and it said that the bustard is a very fast running bird not a slow one so the Latin words for it "avis tarda" or slow bird is inexplicable.
How would you tell a replica from an original (apart from the Meissen mark)? Do the replicas have firing defects like the originals?
