Beautifully presented. I grew up just a few blocks away from the museum, and went there first as a boy, many years ago. My fondest memory is, coming into the museum in the dead of winter, heavy Boston snowstorm billowing outside, and sitting by the central court, transported and transfixed to another time, another place. My favorite painting was Rembrandt's "Christ in a Storm in the Sea of Galilee" and I loved the Vermeer that sat on a nearby table in the same room. Now, sadly missing. I have travelled all over the world and now live far from Boston, but my thoughts often go back to Fenway Court and the beauty of this unique legacy. Thank you Isabella Stewart Gardner and all of you, who work so diligently to keep her vision alive.
I am visiting Boston at the end of the month as a long time New Yorker, what are some places with historical and beautiful views you would recommend? Thank you very much in advance:)
I am viewing from here in Italy this evening. It reminds me of Las Vegas. Mrs. Gardner bought that balcony from someone in Venice who was replacing his. Fortunately, all of this exporting of irreplacable Italian works of art was made illegal thereafter.
This museum especially reminds me of the quote by Fiorella Valdesolo: "Science tells us that looking at beautiful things is a form of self-care. Can it also be making us more beautiful in all ways?".
