Wow, this specimen of a person is gorgeous! (I guess the statue is pretty too. Can't help but to stare at this Giulio Dalvit and the way he flick back his hair. Oh my poor heart!)

Get in the queue......

Great job, Giulio. That was lovely.

[@pieterwolt1245]

Great work by a new curator, congratulations and looking forward to more

[@galleryguide9913]

Fascinating details regarding the Renaissance attitudes towards copies and exclusivity.

[@highseasailing8624]

A welcome addition to the cocktail team!

[@JTonson]

Thank you Mr Frick for giving us a hunk to cheer us up in lockdown!

[@dawnjackson1802]

Another Friday, another priceless discussion of a piece of art, opening into history and a book. A wealth of information with endless opportunities to learn more. Thank you Giulio Dalvit from Elizabeth 🇨🇦

[@carlaroberts4969]

Wow! What a wonderful addition to the team! Thank you Giulio, bravissimo!

[@belkysherrera9047]

Great episode! It enticed my interest in Mantua, Isabella D'Este, Antico and more. I love seeing the catalog entry with the details of the purchasing of the Hercules sculpture. Great quality, great content, and great presentation. Congratulations Giulio!

[@deanedge5988]

That Titian portrait of Isabella d'Este is like her quite something. Which is also portrayed brilliantly in Sheila Hales unequalled book on Titian and Venice . Really interesting presentation. Thank You Giulio from wuthering West Yorkshire.

[@georgep.fletcher8592]

Wonderful lecture about Antico. Bravo Giulio!

[@lucanardecchia2859]

Welcome Giulio and thank you for this travel to Mantua. Saluti dall'Italia.

[@robertmeadows-rogers6863]

Great job, Giulio! You are following in the footsteps of those who understand museum curatorship as a public service of education and compassion. Congratulations... and welcome to the Frick family!

[@bobnewmanknott3433]

Great presentation informative and entertaining Together with Ms Ng M. Dalvit is on my must watch list from now on Many thanks .

[@joanlander5602]

Excellent presentation. Wish the statuette was shown in comparison to ie a hand or coin. The ability to create in such detail in small detail is breathing awe. Thank you. Joan Lander, St Petersburg, Fl

[@richardpalumbo1405]

Giulio, grazie infinite for a most enjoyable, enlightening presentation. It was a pleasure to spend some of this wintry afternoon with you and Hercules. I look forward to many more of your presentations.

[@kerryallen1743]

Thank you for such an interesting talk Giulio, and welcome to Cocktails with a Curator, Frick’s Friday jewel!

[@Amc933]

Excellent. Many thanks and welcome!

[@gidimeir]

Deligtfull and informative. Thank you!

[@mollygardner395]

Amazing talk! Thank you - really wonderful

[@kaloarepo288]

Probably Mantua's (Mantova) greatest claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of the greatest of ancient Roman poets Virgil,author of the "Aeneid."In the Middle Ages he became mythologised and considered a wizard and of course appears in Dante"s "Inferno" as Dante'sguide through Hell.

[@lynnelawner8264]

Charming! Looking forward to meeting you one of these days. (I live down the street, between Frick & Breuer.) Lynne Lawner, author of "Lives of the Courtesans: Portraits of the Renaissance", & a book on commedia dell'arte & the visual arts. Enough about me. Loved the Bertoldo show & love Antico. You presented everything so succinctly & well. Thank you!

[@johntuffin3262]

That was fascinating. You included a lot of information and you communicated your own enthusiasm very well. I look forward to many more of your sessions.

[@kishdanilo]

It is wonderful to learn about this unique statuette of Hercules from such a knowledgable source. We get to follow both the aesthetic origins of the art work, and the object’s physical journey to the Frick collection.

Thanks, Guilio! Great lecture!

Hello from a snowy Warwick, New York 🌹

[@susprime7018]

A nice gift to curry favor. D'Este, is she the one at the time of the Borgias? Private Renaissance, sounds a good book.

[@lorettabertoli3736]

yep that's her! Isabella d'Este married Francesco Gonzaga, the Lord of Mantua. and Lucrezia Borgia married Isabella's brother so they were sisters in law... I am from Mantova, you can't imagine how happy I am to see my city in a Frick video! and I totally have to read the book Rinascimento privato (Private Renaissance), it's on my to be read list ...

Nice presentation, but could hardly take my eyes off the curator. Just remember, young man, that the ‘Frick’ Collection is deeply indebted to the genius of Pierpont Morgan.

[@donnadellago5192]

Apparently, Isabella d'Este did not share the same belief. Titian painted two portraits of her. Isabella was displeased with the first portrait by Titian, showing Isabella's actual age (mid-50s). She requested a second portrait by Titian, showing her as a woman in her 20s. She was very pleased with the second version.

[@LindaLinda80Linda]
