Just beyond the rhythm of Nashville’s famed Broadway lies a world shaped by beauty, intellect and passion. A Life of Discerning Passions: The Collection of H. Rodes Sr. and Patricia Hart reveals a harmony of sculpture, painting, drawing and porcelain that reflects a lifetime devoted to art’s highest ideals.

Anchored by rare bronzes by Giambologna, alongside Old Master drawings by Claude Lorrain and J. M. W. Turner, 19th century British paintings and exquisite Meissen porcelain, every piece speaks to the Harts’ discerning eye and deep appreciation for craftsmanship. These works tell the story of collectors guided by connoisseurship, beauty and joy, a celebration of the extraordinary power of art to inspire across centuries.
