Patroon painters

Group of painters in 18th-century New York

The patroon painters were a group of painters active in what is now New York State in the early 18th century. There were between six and seven patroon painters. Baigell describes the patroon style as "a manner notable for marvelous flat-patterned clothing enlivened by assertive diagonals and vertical, broad curving planes, and simple color combinations". The patroon painters are sometimes described as the first American school of art.
