Description

Painting with Fire: Susanne de Court and the Art of Enamel April 8 to July 12, 2027 The Frick Collection will present the first exhibition dedicated to the French enameler Susanne de Court. Active around 1600, De Court is an enigmatic figure in the creation of painted enamels. With nearly one hundred surviving works, she is widely believed to have been the only woman to lead a workshop in Limoges, France. This exhibition will bring together around fifty of De Court’s signed works, inviting visitors to discover her practice and some of the finest examples of her extraordinary output.
