In the winter and spring of 2019, The Frick will present an exclusive look at Giovanni Barrista Moroni (1520/24 - 1579/80) as a portraitist through paintings and objects from International collections.

Moroni: The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture will be the first major exhibition in the United States to focus on Moroni's portraiture. As a painter of portraits and religious subjects, Moroni is celebrated in the northern Italian tradition of naturalistic painting that includes Leonardo da Vinci, the Caraccis, and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. This exhibition, to be shown exclusively at The Frick Collection from February 21 through June 2, 2019, brings to light the innovation of the artist whose role in a larger history of European portraiture has yet to be fully explored. https://www.frick.org
