In 1898, shortly after the death of her husband Jack, Isabella Stewart Gardner acquired Giovanni Bellini’s Christ Carrying the Cross. As if to transform the work into a memorial, she placed her favorite flowers, violets, in a silver cup she and Jack purchased in Norway in 1867.

wonderous coincidence...
@gregorg was this intentional? and are you in Europe?
