A single figure has witnessed all the phases of the Frick’s renovation over the last four years: “Diana the Huntress,” a life-size terracotta by Jean-Antoine Houdon. Due to the sculpture’s fragility, “Diana” remained in the museum’s Portico Gallery, safely crated throughout the project. To mark her recent unboxing, Giulio Dalvit, Associate Curator, explores the history and technical feats of Houdon’s daringly balanced statue. As we look ahead to the Frick’s reopening, visitors to our renovated buildings will once again be able to enjoy this masterful depiction of the goddess of the hunt, who fittingly overlooks the Fifth Avenue Garden and Central Park.
