Summary
When Montpelier's native son Thomas Waterman Wood (1823-1903) was born, the rapidly growing village had been Vermont's state capital for only 18 years. Wood went on to become a successful portrait and genre painter in New York City, yet his ties to Vermont remained strong throughout his life. "Montpelier's Treasures: The Legacy of Thomas Waterman Wood," now on view at the gallery that bears his name, offers a fascinating look at the inner workings of Wood's art. The 105-piece exhibition also includes a sampling of paintings by Wood's contemporaries, along with many works from the gallery's extensive WPA collection.
