The Frick Collects Nearly 40 Renaissance Bronzes for Siena Metalwork Show
The Frick opens a survey of Sienese Renaissance bronze on October 15, 2026, with nearly 40 works, many never before shown outside Tuscany.

The Frick will present a survey of Sienese bronze casting opening October 15, 2026, and running through January 18, 2027. Assembling nearly 40 Renaissance bronzes, the exhibition highlights a school of metalwork shaped by sculptors working in Siena and many loans that have never before left Tuscany. The show is expected to feature domestic and devotional objects that reveal the city's distinctive naturalistic style. It follows the Frick's recent pattern of focused old-master exhibitions drawn from rarely lent Italian holdings. The presentation underscores the collection's strength in Renaissance decorative arts.
