Annotation. "Sarasota's distinction as a vibrant capital of culture began with arrival of circus impresario John Ringling, railroad executive Ralph Caples, and socialite Bertha Palmer, all of whom showcased impressive art collections in their homes. It grew with the establishment of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Ringling School of Art. A colorful canvas of historical background and biographical information, this history documents the way visual art influenced the growth of the city and continues to define the character of Sarasota today."
