The King at War: Velazquez's Portrait of Philip IV January 18, 2011

Painted at the height of Velazquez's career, the Frick's King Philip IV of Spain (1644) is one of the artist's consummate achievements. In conjunction with a focus on Spanish art this fall, the Frick offers a dossier presentation on the portrait, which returned this winter from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, having been cleaned for the first time in over sixty years.
