Theodore Earl Butler

Theodore Earl Butler (1861, 1936) was an American Impressionist painter best known for his vibrant depictions of everyday life in Normandy, France, particularly in and around Giverny. He became closely connected to Claude Monet's circle after marrying Monet's stepdaughter Suzanne Hoschedé in 1892, and later her sister Marthe following Suzanne's death. His work is celebrated for its luminous color, loose brushwork, and intimate domestic scenes that reflect his deep immersion in the French Impressionist tradition.
