Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858-1925) was an American Impressionist painter and art teacher. He studied under Gustave Boulanger, Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and George Loring Brown. Metcalf's paintings effectively captured the beauty and serenity of his surroundings and despite his use of the divided brushstrokes and bright palette of the impressionists, his images continued to emphasize three-dimensional form, and fidelity to the natural subject.Metcalf received numerous awards as a mature artist.
