Cocktails with a Curator: Rosalba Carriera's Portraits

Image
In this week’s “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and  Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon celebrates  Women’s History Month by examining two exquisite pastels  by Rosalba Carriera that recently entered the collection  through a bequest from Alexis Gregory and are on view  for the first time on the third floor of Frick Madison.  Celebrated for her technically innovative pastel portraits,  Rosalba was one of the most famous artists of 18th-century Italy,  particularly remarkable given the male-dominated society  in which she lived.  This week’s complementary cocktail is the Vesper Martini.
