Cimabue and Early Italian Devotional Painting December 6, 2006

For the first time in America, The Frick Collection will reunite two diminutive, jewel-like panels by the early Italian Renaissance master Cimabue: 'The Virgin and Child Enthroned' from the National Gallery in London and the Frick's 'Flagellation of Christ'. Technical and stylistic studies reveal that these two paintings once formed part of the same ensemble featuring various scenes from the life of Christ.
