Guy Rose is one of the few true native artists of California, born in San Gabriel in 1867. His artistic talents emerged early and eventually led him to study in San Francisco and then in Paris at the Academie Julian. Rose produced some of his finest works during the years he lived and painted in Giverny. An ardent devotee of French Impressionism, Rose would return to America and become the grand master of the California Impressionists.
