Note from Jean Troemel, Augustine, Florida:Ben Stahl lived in San Miguel Allende, Mexico the last years of his life. Before that he lived and worked in Sarasota, Florida, where he also built a circular museum building that housed his collection of large paintings illustrated for a later version of "The Bible". Still a mystery, the museum was broken into and the collection stolen and never recovered.
His wife was his favorite model.
