Web Commentary

Before moving to the 4th floor of the museum, Isabella lived in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood at 152 Beacon Street. This photograph shows a variety of objects that she later installed in the museum including a painting of Adam and Eve by a follower of Lucas Cranach, the Elder (1472-1553). This picture is now on view in the Gothic Room.
