American painter (1872–1941)
George Ames Aldrich was an American painter associated primarily with atmospheric landscape painting during the late 19th to early 20th century. Trained in both the United States and Europe, Aldrich developed a style characterized by tonal subtlety, atmospheric effects, and a restrained engagement with Impressionism.

His career was marked by extensive travel, steady exhibition activity, and a significant presence in Midwestern art circles.
