Theodore Butler

Theodore Butler was an American Impressionist painter who is best known for his depictions of the French countryside.

Butler studied at the Art Students League of New York and worked as an illustrator for publications such as Harper's Weekly and Scribner's Magazine. In 1887, he traveled to France to study at the Académie Julian in Paris. There, he met the Impressionist painter Claude Monet and became part of his inner circle of friends and collaborators. Butler eventually settled in the village of Giverny, where he lived for the rest of his life.

In Giverny, Butler painted landscapes and scenes of everyday life in the countryside, often featuring the gardens and water lilies made famous by Monet's own paintings. He developed a loose, painterly style that was influenced by the Impressionists but also showed the influence of Post-Impressionism.

Today, Butler's work can be found in the collections of museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and the Art Institute of Chicago. His contributions to the development of Impressionism and his association with Monet continue to make him an important figure in the history of art.
