The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's new exhibition program, Close Up, features a single work from their collection. The inaugural installation of the series focuses on an altarpiece of The Annunciation by Italian Renaissance painter Piermatteo d'Amelia, which will be removed from the historic palace and displayed in the new Hostetter Gallery. This book recounts three fascinating stories behind this work of art: the riveting tales of its acquisition, its attribution, and its painter.
