"The American Impressionists in the Garden," now at Tennessee's lush garden museum Cheekwood, showcases about 40 top-notch garden paintings by such artists as Mary Fairchild MacMonnies, Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, and Carl Frederick Frieseke.
Among the few American interlopers on Monet's Giverny, John Leslie Breck is represented in the show along with a cadre of 19th to early 20th century artists who set up at the Old Lyme art colony to paint idyllic landscapes.
The show will travel after its run in Nashville ends in September.
