A leader of the tonalist movement in America, Ranger was an important figure in the establishment of the Old Lyme, Connecticut art colony in 1899. It was during his youth in New York city that he was first exposed to the French Barbizon style. Traveling to France and Holland, he was further influenced by the atmospheric realism of the French Barbizon and Dutch Hague schools. His return to America brought him to the Old Lyme art colony where he remained an influential figure until the arrival of Childe Hassam and other impressionists.
