Vermeer, The Artist's Studio, 1673
With rain falling outside the lighthouse and dusk settling over the island, we walk toward the dock for my trip home. Wyeth leads the way past the banks of wild roses, pointing out a reduced-scale model of Daniel Webster's historic homestead, moved and rebuilt on a foundation here. "I have a theory about historic places," Wyeth says at the dock. "They absorb the lives of the people who've lived and worked in them. You can't help but learn when you visit. I'm just crazy about that idea."
