Set a course for 18th-century Venice as Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon explores a pair of vedute (views) by Francesco Guardi. Displayed on the third floor of Frick Madison alongside works by Tiepolo and Rosalba Carriera, Guardi’s paintings capture the vibrant life of Venice—complete with color-coordinated boatmen, laundry-draped balconies, and liveried attendants welcoming dignitaries.
