Born in Rochester, New York, Emile Gruppe was a renowned New England landscape and marine painter. Although he painted landscapes and portraits, the artist is best known for his views of fishing boats docked at Gloucester and Rockport, and for his Rockport village scenes. The son of famed landscape painter Charles Paul Gruppe, Emile was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York. With the strong influence of his father and his own art education at The Hague in the Netherlands and in New York City at the National Academy of Design and The Arts Students League, Emile Gruppe’s prolific fine art career earned him dozens of awards, prizes and medals during his lifetime. In 1942 Gruppe founded the Gruppe Summer School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He made his permanent studio in Gloucester.
