Book
Chasing beauty : the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner / Natalie Dykstra.
Isabella Stewart Gardner's museum of treasures encompassed not only masterwork paintings but tapestries, rare books, prints, porcelains, and fine furniture. An extraordinary achievement of storytelling and scholarship, this book provides compelling insight into the multilayered self-portrait encoded in the museum's objects and rooms--and delivers the absorbing story of a life every bit as dazzling and haunting. This is the story of the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in the nation and the world--a tale of beauty and loss, grit and American self-invention.
