Known for her flamboyant manner and free-spirited ways, Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840 - 1924) became known as the first American "Patroness of the Arts." The ambiance of her Back Bay salon at 150-152 Beacon Street inspired the creation of "Fenway Court," an architecturally lavish backdrop for her significant collection of Italian Renaissance art. Fenway Court known today as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, was willed to the City of Boston for the "education and enjoyment of the public forever," and stands as a monument to her aesthetic sensibilities. *Sponsored by the Friends of the Lincoln Library <https://lincolnpl.org/foll/> and the Friends of the Lincoln Council on Aging. * *Mystery Mondays: Family Business* Monday, May 19, 7-8:15 PM, Tarbell Room & ZOOM <https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mystery-mondays-47/> This month's book is Family Business by S.J.
