Join us for a visit from Isabella Stewart Gardner reenactor Jessa Piaia! Known for her flamboyant manner and free-spirited ways, Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840 - 1924) became known as the first American "Patroness of the Arts." The ambiance of her Back Bay salon at 150-152 Beacon Street inspired the creation of "Fenway Court," an architecturally lavish backdrop for her significant collection of Italian Renaissance art. Fenway Court known today as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, was willed to the City of Boston for the "education and enjoyment of the public forever," and stands as a monument to her aesthetic sensibilities.
