"Florence Griswold: The Keeper of the Artists" by Anne Zimanski tells the captivating story of Florence Griswold, the inspiring woman who transformed her home in Old Lyme, Connecticut, into a vibrant artists’ colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The narrative explores her life, relationships with notable painters such as Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf, and the creative atmosphere that flourished in her boarding house. As she nurtured a community of artists, Florence became a pivotal figure in the American Impressionist movement, embodying creativity, resilience, and the spirit of the art world during a transformative period in history.
