For the American businessman and politician, see Bruce Crane (businessman)Robert Bruce Crane (1857 – October 30, 1937) was an American painter.
He joined the Lyme Art Colony in the early 1900s.
His most active period, though, came after 1920, when for more than a decade he did oil sketches of woods, meadows, and hills.
He developed into a Tonalist painter under the influence of Jean-Charles Cazin at Grez-sur-Loing.
Crane’s mature works were nearly always fall and winter scenes.
He usually painted in his studio in Bronxville, New York, where like many of the Tonalists he relied mostly on memories of his outdoor sketching experiences.
Selected work can be found at the Florence Griswold Museum and the Newark Museum.
He is a descendant of the Continental Congressman Stephen Crane.
