Gari Melchers was a prominent painter of landscapes, portraits, and murals, who lived during the late 19th and early 20th century.
Melchers was already a well-known and successful artist when he purchased his home - the Belmont Estate - in Falmouth, Virginia, a place where he could escape the start of World War I and paint for the joy of it.
When Melchers’ wife died in 1955, she left the home and all of its contents to Virginia, making the Gari Melchers Home and Studio one of the most complete examples of a historic artists’ home and work in existence.
Today, the Belmont Estate is a beautiful and historic house that is available for touring.
