On my visit to the re-opening of the Frick Collection, I encountered their Piero della Francesca pieces and became excited because i will be doing something around this artist later in the year. Further investigation showed that the institution had hosted an exhibition of 7 of his pieces — six of which are based in the US — in 2013 and I dove into the archives to study the work done around that exhibition. This presentation of the artist’s Baptism of Christ is my first offering and draws heavily on the museum’s write-ups plus associated lectures.
