Beauty, grace and elegance in our sad and disappointing contemporary world, thank you.

Thank you Xavier for warming a cold winter afternoon.

I look forward to this every Friday with your down to earth explanations of the art, the time, the era and of course the cocktail. Thank you so much.

Thanks again for transporting us to a different reality.

Those grapes - I have to look at them again, they are as luscious as the upstate varieties at New York City's greenmarkets in autumn. The elegant woman in the sleigh reminds me of a snappy Spanish idiom, "Our elegance will keep us warm!" Lastly, I hail Xavier's cocktail made with Pisco, the main ingredient of many a Pisco Sour over the years. What a joy to ponder the passage of time in this way - though the Frick itself is timeless.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge; these talks are delightful.

Excellent presentation. I always learn so much from these. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your wisdom every week since lockdown started! What a lifesaver it's been, to look forward to each week. I've never been to the Frick before and now I can't wait to visit and take this gifted knowledge with me whenever I am able to go. Many many thanks for this each week-stay safe! Love from Los Angeles.

Thank you, Xavier. I look forward to your and Amy’s videos each Friday and I save them to watch when I can savor them or re-watch them.

Thank you for a lovely and insightful introduction to these

Another week, and another stimulating presentation. Thank you! 🇨🇦

Made the winter seem short!

I've always wondered why renaissance dolphins look so unlike what I think a dolphin would look like in life. Is there a reasons the dolphin sculptures form these paintings look like this?

nature: too green and badly lit...
