Willard Leroy Metcalf

Biography from Spanierman Gallery
A leading American Impressionist and a member of the Ten American Painters, Willard Leroy Metcalf is best known for scenes of the hills and countryside of New England in which he merged a realist and an Impressionist approach. For his intimate and sweeping vistas of the rural locales that he knew so well, he was acclaimed as the "painter laureate of New England," and his direct and sincere works have been compared with the poems of Robert Frost.
