| history |
Isabella Stewart Gardner was an art patron, collector, and museum founder. Gardner, and others, hired Bernard Berenson to travel throughout Italy collecting Italian Renaissance art for her recreated Venetian palazzo in Boston. She established her palazzo as a museum of fine European art with stipulations that after her death, none of the exhibited works was to be moved or rearranged but left as she had designed during her lifetime. |
