Editor's Note:
The vivid and masterful story of an American original—a formidable art collector and builder of one of America’s most unique and stunning museums—a late bloomer whose own life was remade by art. Isabella Stewart Gardner’s museum, with its plain exterior enfolding an astonishing four-story Italian palazzo, rose from Boston’s Fens in 1902. The museum would be a work of art in itself—the first built to house a private collection, which included the first Vermeer and first Botticelli in America. Its treasures encompassed not only paintings but tapestries, rare books, prints, porcelains, fine furniture—all in evocative, intimately personal arrangements. An extraordinary achievement of storytelling and scholarship, Chasing Beauty uncovers the multi-layered self-portrait encoded in the museum’s objects and rooms, at the same time delivering the story of a life every bit as dazzling and haunting.   Born in 1840 to a privileged New York family, Isabella Stewart married Boston Brahmin Jack Gardner before she was twenty. Misunderstood by Boston’s internecine society, Isabella suffered the death of her only child, a beloved two-year-old boy. In time, friendships, glittering and bohemian; awe-inspiring world travels; being in the presence of beautiful things; and soon enough collecting them with a keen eye and competitive pace—all these became balm for loss. Henry James and John Singer Sargent—whose portrait of Isabella was a masterpiece and a scandal—came to recognize her originality. Bernard Berenson, leading connoisseur of the Italian Renaissance, was her art dealer. From award-winning author Natalie Dykstra, the uncovered story of the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in America and the world—a tale of beauty and loss, grit and American self-invention.
