NEW YORK---Four years ago, the National Galleries of Scotland sent their prized Titian with other paintings from their collection on a tour that started at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The tour from the National Galleries begins at the Frick Collection on Nov. 5, where 10 paintings will be on view, including Botticelli’s “The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child,” circa 1485, and John Singer Sargent’s portrait of Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, from 1892. Once the show leaves the Frick on Feb. 1, it will go to the de Young in San Francisco, as a larger exhibition of 55 paintings, and from there it will travel to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.
