This beautiful publication accompanies an exhibition that brings together the only two known self-portraits by Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (1617–1682), one of the finest painters of the Spanish Golden Age. Painted almost twenty years apart, these two remarkable paintings are often overshadowed by Murillo’s more famous religious paintings and genre scenes. This book investigates the two self-portraits side by side, highlighting similarities and differences. While the earlier portrait reflects Murillo’s admiration of antiquity and imitation of classical models, the later one shows a confident, mature artist who was at that time the leading painter in Seville. In addition, the book discusses recent technical analysis, offering a better understanding of how these self-portraits were painted, and provides a rare opportunity to compare how one of the most celebrated and influential European painters chose to represent himself at different stages of his exceptional career.

In 2000, The Frick Collection’s "Flagellation of Christ" was confirmed to be by the artist Cenni di Pepo (c. 1240–c. 1302), known as Cimabue, following the discovery of "The Virgin and Child Enthroned with Two Angels" (now in the National Gallery, London), a panel known to have been painted by the Florentine master. Visitors to the exhibition, presented from October 3 to December 31, 2006, had the rare opportunity to see these two panels side by side — the first time they have been together in America. A selection of panels, manuscripts, and verre églomisé (painted and gilded glass) were also on view, illustrating the various forms of small-scale devotional art with which Cimabue and his contemporaries experimented. This catalogue presents an in-depth essay on the artist Cimabue including biographic and technical information specific to the Flagellation painting in the Frick's collection. Essay on Cimabue's devotional paintings by Holly Flora.
