Currently on display at the in Jeffersonville is a painting by Emile Gruppe with some historical significance. The painting depicts a group of people warming themselves by a bonfire during a Vermont winter. The figure on the right wearing the beanie with the red pom-pon is believed to be none other than Emile’s wife, Dorothy. The other figures are likely fellow artists on a plein-air excursion in Jeffersonville, VT, taking a break from their easels to warm themselves. Many of Emile’s Vermont paintings depict large beautiful American Beech trees, now hard to find in the landscape with the prevalence of Beech bark disease. Emile’s paintings are not only gorgeous depictions of the landscape, but they also provide a window into history. The last photo shows Emile in the 1930’s, likely posing for a promotional photo, as we don’t think he regularly painted in a fine suit!
