Norton Howe (1861–1941) was an American landscape painter associated with the Tonalist movement, known for his atmospheric depictions of rural New England scenery. Born in Lyme, Connecticut, Howe spent much of his life capturing the quiet beauty of the Connecticut River Valley, often portraying misty fields, wooded paths, and tranquil pastures with a subdued, harmonious color palette. His work reflects the Tonalist emphasis on mood and poetic light rather than fine detail, creating serene compositions that evoke contemplation and intimacy with nature. Howe was part of the Lyme Art Colony, a significant artistic community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his paintings remain admired for their gentle lyricism and refined sense of place.
