The Art of Steele

Click a painting below to learn more about Steele's art. His paintings can be categorized into three main time periods: the Munich period (1880-1885), Brookville period (1898-1906) and Brown County period (1907-1926). During the time between Munich and Brookville, Steele painted near Indianapolis or on sojourns to Vernon, Yountsville, Spencer and Metamora. He also painted in Vermont (1887), Tennessee (1899), and Oregon and California (1902 and 1903). For an in-depth examination of Steele's impact on Impressionism in the Midwest, enjoy this article by Rachel Berenson Perry, former fine arts curator of the Indiana State Museum.
