I'm Susan Galassi, Senior Curator at The Frick Collection.

And it's my privilege to welcome all of you here

to have Dame Hilary Mantel as our speaker,

and to have her husband, Gerald McEwen, with us as well.

of her landmark historical novel Wolf Hall,

based on the life, um, which was followed in 2012

by the spectacular sequel Bring Up the Bodies.

Both books, based on the life of Thomas Cromwell,

and adapted for the stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company

and were made into an award-winning BBC miniseries

She is currently at work on the last book

in the Cromwell trilogy, The Mirror and the Light.

Earlier this year, Prince Charles conferred on her

the honor of Dame Commander of the British Empire

an extraordinary achievement encompassing

in helping England save the famous bronze sculptures,

which are now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

she is attending rehearsals for the opening on Broadway

Previews at the Winter Garden begin in only two days.

We are very lucky to have her for this hour.

to the Drue Heinz Trust and to Mrs. Hines.

For the past dozen years, her Trust has funded a series

of lectures by distinguished artists, writers, and poets,

to our collection of Old Master paintings.

She is also a longtime admirer of Hilary Mantel's work.

Thanks are due, as well, to past and present members

Francis Codie, James Meter, and, especially,

Manager of Education and Public Programs, Adrienne Lei.

Tonight, we have the pleasure of hearing Dame Hilary

Right outside this door hang the original portraits

Thomas Cromwell and his archenemy Thomas More.

in Holbein's meticulous, highly illusionistic manner.

In her fluid prose, Dame Hilary lets the portraits

In one particularly moving scene in Wolfhall,

as he takes in Holbein's image of himself,

with a combination of admiration and alarm.

For the past century, that portrait has hung

face-to-face with the portrait of Thomas More

in the Living Hall, the heart of The Frick Collection,

and Cromwell, the presumed villain, on the right,

until Hilary Mantel reversed their roles.

After the lecture, we invite you to view the paintings

in the Living Hall and to join us for a glass of wine

Now please give a very warm welcome to Dame Hilary Mantel.

May I say it's absolutely lovely to be here.

And, uh, I had to confess that until a few days ago

stood in front of the fireplace by the portraits
