News: Velázquez at The Frick

Velázquez’s magnificent King Philip IV of Spain is one of the highlights of The Frick Collection in New York City.

This lecture is offered in conjunction with the special exhibition The King at War: Velázquez’s Portrait of Philip IV, which is on view at The Frick Collection from October 26, 2010 through January 23, 2011.
