Gilbert Munger was born on April 14, 1837 in Madison, Connecticut. He showed interest and talent in art early in life. His family allowed him to follow this inclination by sending him at age 13 to Washington D.C. where he apprenticed to the engraver William H. Dougal, who worked for various firms and agencies there. Munger worked at this craft for about ten years, producing plates for various U.S. Government reports.
He became good friends with other artists in town including John Mix Stanley and John Ross Key. Through these associations and his own efforts he taught himself to draw and paint. When the Civil War started Munger became employed by the Union Army, working on the defenses of Washington D.C. When the war ended he gave up his military employment and moved to New York City to try a career as a professional artist.
About 1886 Munger moved to Paris and painted country scenes from north and south of the city along the Seine, Oise, and Loing rivers. In the French paintings his style changed from realistic scenes of dramatic landscapes to, as he later described it, "soft, mellow, and reposeful scenes." The new style was strongly influenced by the Barbizon school, following Corot, but Munger added a recognizable American crispness to the style. He is reported to have traveled in Southern France, Spain, and Germany.
His Barbizon paintings enjoyed considerable success in the French and English art markets and with the critics. He was recognized with medals from several European governments: a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in France, a Knight of the Order of Saxe-Ernestine in Germany, a Red Cross with the Ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew in Russia, and a King Leopold Gold Medal with Crown in Belgium. His paintings were bought by the Royal Academy of London, the museums at Colberg, Berlin, Munich, Schwerin, Weimar, and Meininger, and the Luxembourg Art Gallery of Paris.
In 1893 Munger returned to the U.S. He brought back many sketches and paintings, and setup a studio in New York City. He worked diligently to establish himself as a painter to the elite of the City.
