Notes
Hillwood’s founder, Marjorie Merriweather Post (1887–1973), lived near water in many of her homes, loved sailing aboard her yacht, and collected beautiful works of art made of precious materials found in the ocean or inspired by the beauty and mystery of the sea.
This lecture will explore the stories behind magnificent pieces from Hillwood’s collection from a monumental painting after Hans Makart to a series of seascapes by Ivan Aivazovsky, and other treasures.
