Education & Enrichment Series | Rosalba Carriera and the Three Kings

Dr. Xavier F. Salomon, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, The Frick Collection and Save Venice Board Member. Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757) was the most celebrated woman artist in eighteenth-century Europe. She worked in the inherently fragile medium of pastel and was always concerned for the well-being of her creations. The recent discovery of a sacred image placed by Rosalba in one of her pastels has led to discovery of a number of similar prints. We will follow in Rosalba’s footsteps, from her house in Venice to the European courts for which her pastels were destined. Previously Recorded on October 21, 2021.
