The Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum
Having wanted to visit the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum for quite some time, this weekend it finally occurred. I don’t think i could have asked for a nicer day. I have not been to the museum in years, and somehow it seemed different in some way brand new. Ms. Gardner was quite the collector of art around the world, and in particular two of my favorites; Titian and Sargent. Sargent painted beautiful portraits of Isabella Stuart Gardner, capturing her true beauty and free spirit.
The atrium is one of the most beautiful spaces in Boston; somehow you think you are very far away. The light and texture of the stone, greenery, and fountains evoke pure joy. There is also an exhibit by young children from local schools whose work was strong, leaving me asking where can I purchase a piece? I was so taken by the experience and time spent there, I am thinking of joining as a member not only to support the arts but also participate in some wonderful events taking place.
After having spent many hours lost in Ms. Gardner's home, i wandered the city for the remainder of the day taking in more beauty, and more pictures.
