Florence Griswold

The narrative centers on Florence Griswold, who played a pivotal role in American art by founding the Lyme Art Colony, a key site for U.S. Impressionism. Known as "The Keeper of the Artist Colony," she hosted renowned artists in the early 1900s, transforming her home from a Barbizon art-colony to a vibrant hub for creativity. The book highlights her influence and the lasting legacy of the colony, which continues to thrive nearly a century later, marking a significant chapter in American art history.
