Daniel Charles Grose was born ca.
lieutenant is possible that Daniel Charles is related to this family, but at the moment, no documentary evidence exists. Very little is known of Grose’s early years. He may have migrated to Canada or directly to the United States, though the proliferation of his early work in Canadian museums and galleries suggests the former.
Most advertisements of his work call him an American or Canadian artist.
Grose’s work indicates an affinity to the second generation of the Hudson River School (ca 1848–1900). Most of Grose’s exeunt work depicts pastoral landscapes, or romantic scenes with ruins.
The earliest known Grose works are dated 1865 and consist of a series of landscapes in the province of Quebec. On May 25, 1881, in Washington, District of Columbia, Grose married Estelle Harriet Smith (1863–1914), also an artist.
Between 1881 and 1884 Grose and Harriet took a trip around the world.
Grose died in Alexandria at his mother-in-law"s house (Mrs H Dwight Smith) on February 24, 1900. His funeral was held the next day in Washington at his former residence.
Grose was a member of and exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association.
