Ha! I re-blogged this as well! Fascinating lady.
From the ISG Museum email list, perhaps of interest to your readers:
“We are pleased to announce the release of our beautifully-illustrated, new biography of our founder—Isabella Stewart Gardner: A Life—the first produced by the Museum in nearly a century.
Written by Diana Seave Greenwald, Interim Curator of the Collection, and Nathaniel Silver, former William and Lia Poorvu Curator of the Collection and division head, this book separates fact from fiction, drawing on Isabella Stewart Gardner’s substantial personal archive and new research to offer fresh perspectives on her life and how she shaped her public identity.
What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of a pioneering collector, a brilliant curator, a social reformer, and a visionary museum founder— an exceptional and complex woman who built our legendary museum and played a vibrant and influential role in the art world.
Isabella Stewart Gardner: A Life will be available at Gift at the Gardner on November 1.”
Best wishes,
Clarence
