1 East 70th Street @ Fifth Avenue

Henry Clay Frick’s mansion displays the former industrialist’s impressive collections of Western Art, with paintings from the Renaissance through the 18th century by Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Titian, El Greco, and Goya. Sculptures and period furniture add their own note of beauty. The garden court is one of Manhattan’s great quiet retreats, and the paintings remind one to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life.
