Every artist has their muses. For Édouard Manet (1832-1883), one of those muses was family. But the home life of the French painter was complicated, even by today’s standards. Manet: A Model Family, on view in the Hostetter Gallery, explores how despite complexities between relatives, the Manet family lived happily. Immortalized in groundbreaking bold brushstrokes, Édouard Manet's loved ones enriched his life and his art. After his death, they cultivated his legacy and ensured that his work would never be forgotten.

Stolen

In the early morning hours of March 18th, 1990, two thieves disguised as police officers talked their way into the museum, and tied up the night guards. It is believed they “came for the Rembrandts”- but they also stole works by Vermeer, Degas, Manet, and Flinck, as well as a Chinese beaker and a Napoleonic eagle finial. Eighty-one minutes later, they were gone.

Learn more about the works of art lost in the 1990 heist in the Gardner Museum's publication, Stolen.

Courtyard Views

Throughout the year, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s always-blooming Courtyard is transformed through a series of nine dramatic seasonal displays that reflect Isabella’s passion for gardens as well as the skill and dedication of the Museum's horticulture staff. From orchids to nasturtiums to Japanese-style chrysanthemums, there’s always something new to discover thanks to the changing seasons and the rotation of plants.

Dutch Room

Isabella assembled a magnificent tribute to northern Europe’s greatest portraitists including Peter Paul Rubens, Albrecht Dürer, and Hans Holbein. This room was also the scene of tragedy when, in 1990, 13 works were stolen from the Gardner Museum, six of them from the Dutch Room.

Francesco Pesellino, The Triumphs of Love, Chastity and Death, about 1450

Early Italian Room

Isabella Stewart Gardner traveled all over the world but visited Italy more often than any other country. This room, the first you encounter after climbing the staircase to the second floor, takes its name from the collection of Italian Gothic and Renaissance paintings that line its walls.
