St. Francis in the Desert

Inch for inch, the Frick Collection has more masterpieces than any museum around. One of them—which is among the most beautiful things in the United States—has just been made even more beautiful, visible, and breathtaking. Giovanni Bellini's radiantly supernal vision, St. Francis in the Desert, has been removed from its place overhead and installed on a tremendous wooden easel at eye level. Even if you've visited a hundred times, prepare to see things you've never seen before: moist stigmata wounds, calm bunnies, mystic light playing off a distant stream, a wooden clog fit for a god. Beauty beyond language; eternity on the brink of revelation. All hail the Frick.
