Queen Esther of Purim fame is a heroine of the Jewish people, but a new exhibit at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is showing us the ways in which Esther was a heroine and muse of Christian artists across the Renaissance and beyond.
Esther in the Age of Rembrandt is an art exhibit highlighting this little known story, on display at The Gardner Museum this fall (August - December). We're partnering with The Gardner to elevate the many facets of this story with a season of shared programming.
Esther in the Age of Rembrandt programming is co-presented by The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and The Vilna, and is part of The Only Woman in the Room series. Made possible with support from The Miriam Fund of Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
