Aldro Thompson Hibbard (1886-1972) was an Impressionist landscape painter much concerned with light and shadow— well-known for his New England snow scenes and coastline paintings. He graduated from the Massachusetts Normal School and studied at the Boston Museum School with Edmund Tarbell, Joseph DeCamp and Frank Benson. Hibbard was one of the founders of the Rockport Art Colony.
