Her story, and her compulsion to buy the art of the age, makes her a great lens through which to understand the Gilded Age. Dr. Natalie Dykstra joins the show to discuss her latest biography of Bella. Essential Reading: Natalie Dykstra, Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner (2024). Hosted on Acast.
