Isabella
Stewart Gardner Museum
The Gardner Museum, called Fenway Court by Isabella Stewart
Gardner, is the only private art collection in which the building and the
collection are the creation of one individual. The collection is comprised of
approximately 2,500 objects, representing many cultures and spanning thirty
centuries. Particulary rich in Italian Renaissance painting, the collection
features works by Botticelli, Raphael, and Titian. Later French, German, and
Dutch masters, such as Rembrandt, are also represented. Paintings by more
modern artists include Degas, the first painting by Matisse to enter an
American collection, and many works by John Singer Sargent and James McNeil
Whistler, both friends of Isabella Stewart Gardner.
