Not on viewWeb CommentaryMacknight Room is home to a great number of watercolor paintings by its namesake: Dodge Macknight. Macknight good-naturedly badgered Isabella into purchasing his paintings and in 1912 sent her a doctored postcard of the exterior of her museum with the words “Buy Macknight’s Pictures” emblazoned across the circular wall around the Monk’s Garden. Gardner obliged, and the gallery is home to nearly a dozen works by his hand, including A Road in Winter, Cape Cod and Towering Castles, Grand Canyon.
