The École des Beaux-Arts in Paris is the oldest art school in the world. Among the École des Beaux-Arts' many collections are some 15,000 drawings from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, of the French, Italian, and Northern schools. The seventy-one drawings on display at The Frick Collection are taken from a slightly larger number shown in Paris and Geneva last year. They provide a survey of French drawing from 1620 to 1680, with a concentration on the works of Poussin and Claude, whose careers unfolded in Rome, as well as artists such as Vouet, Le Sueur, and Le Brun, who established a distinctive classical idiom in Paris.
The Frick Collection is the exhibition’s only North American venue
