I would say Isabella Stewart Gardner of the Gardner Museum. I love that she went her own way and had the audacity and ability to carry out her dreams as a collector! I have different tastes than her now but the way she brought all of these things together is very inspiring to me, and is a role model. I like to say that she was exactly on the right path, and with the benefit of the Internet (and Bitcoin) we simply need to continue what she was doing more than 100 years ago. I believe that fundamentally she wanted masterpieces from living artists, and I don’t think she would have focused so much on Old Masters if she had access to what we have now with the Internet. So that’s my interpretation of her aspirations, and what I aim to do.

Thank you for sharing. I haven't heard or read about her, but something that blows my mind away is how good people from centuries before were so good at what they did. We have it a lot easier today but somehow we became rather lazy.

Thanks for taking the time to engage with my question as well.

They probably would dream of having what we have! And I would say what we have is the potential to be much more connected, to share many more ideas, to discover new things faster, and in general do much more interesting things with the time that we have, if we wish to do so.
