THE NEW YORK TIMES

Van Eyck’s “Virgin and Child, With Saints and Donor,” part of the Frick Collection’s holdings, will be displayed at the Mauritshuis in The Hague.

NEW YORK---Life at the Frick Collection may be a bit quieter since its blockbuster exhibition “Masterpieces of Dutch Painting From the Mauritshuis” closed there last month, leaving its galleries devoid of two star paintings, Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring” (1665). Now, it turns out that, even in the museum world, you have to give in order to get. Call it a quid pro quo or simply a way of providing the Frick with some much-needed international attention, but for the first time, the Frick is lending a significant group of paintings, sculptures and decorative objects to a major show that will go on view at the Mauritshuis in The Hague next year.
