Willard Metcalf: American Impressionist Landscapes

Willard Metcalf (1858–1925) is one of America’s foremost Impressionist painters. This slideshow features a curated selection of his most evocative landscape paintings—quiet meadows, luminous forests, and fleeting seasonal light rendered with sensitivity and grace.

A student of the Académie Julian in Paris and later a central figure in the Ten American Painters group, Metcalf brought a poetic serenity to American scenery. His brushwork captures not just place, but presence—those brief moments of harmony between light and land.

Featured artworks span his New England scenes, spring and autumn vistas, and snow-covered stillness, each a testament to his refined color sense and compositional mastery.

This video is part of an ongoing series celebrating great painters through curated visual presentations.
