Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Der Tizian Room beherbergt Meisterwerke des Renaissance-Künstlers Bellini.

Vor einem Jahrhundert schuf Erbin Isabella Stewart Gardner das perfekte Gegenmittel zu den kalten, dunklen, feuchten Wintern in Boston, als sie im Innenhof ihres eigenen Museums einen lichtdurchfluteten, gemäßigten Garten baute. Das Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum ist nicht wirklich ein Haus, obwohl Gardner in einer Wohnung im vierten Stock bis zu ihrem Tod im Jahr 1924 lebte. Eröffnung mit einem Konzert von Mitgliedern des Boston Symphony Orchestra am Neujahrstag, 1903, diese Replik eines Der Palazzo aus dem 15. Jahrhundert im venezianischen Stil präsentiert eine erstaunliche und weitreichende Sammlung von Kunst in einem persönlichen und intimen Rahmen. Frau Gardner sammelte in wenigen Jahren viel von der Kunst und überwachte persönlich den Bau des Palazzo und die Installation der Sammlung. Zu sehen sind Schätze wie das einzige Fresko von Piero della Francesca außerhalb Italiens, ein Rembrandt-Selbstbildnis als junger Mann und Gardner selbst, gemalt von John Singer Sargent und anderen. (Mehrere unbezahlbare Schätze von Vermeer, Rembrandt und anderen, die 1990 gestohlen wurden, sind immer noch auf freiem Fuß.) Der ganzjährig blühende Hof bleibt das schlagende Herz des Museums: ein erholsamer Ort zum Anhalten und Nachdenken über eine bemerkenswerte Umgebung für Kunst von eine Frau.
