Richard Gruelle

Richard Buckner Gruelle (b. February 22 1851, Cynthiana, Kentucky - d. November 4 1914, Indianapolis, Indiana) was an American Impressionist painter who was a member of the Hoosier Group of Indiana landscape painters.

He moved to Norwalk, Connecticut in 1910. He was self-taught and the only one of the Hoosier Group painters without European training. He began by painting portraits and domestic interiors before turning to landscapes.
