Theodore Earl Butler (1861–1936) a fost un pictor impresionist american, s-a nascut in Columbus, Ohio si a murit in Giverny, Franta, pe 2 mai 1936.
Theodore a studiat la Marietta College in Ohio si a absolvit in 1882. A studiat la Art Students League sub indrumarea lui James Carroll Beckwith, Kenyon Cox si Julian Alden Weir, precum si sub indrumarea lui William Merritt Chase din 1884 pana in 1886. Butler a plecat sa studieze in Paris. Multe sute de studenti de arta americani au plecat in Franta sa studieze arta la sfarsitul secolului al XIX-lea. Unii chiar au urmat studiile la Ecole des Beaux Arts din Paris.

In Paris, Butler a studiat la La Grande-Chaumière, Atelier Colarossi si la Académie Julian. Pierre Bonnard si Édouard Vuillard au studiat la Academy Julian in 1888-1889. Butler a studiat sub indrumarea lui Emile Carolus Duran.

Butler a devenit prieten apropiat cu Claude Monet si s-a casatorit cu fiica vitrega a acestuia, Suzanne Hoschedé in 1892.

Evenimentul a fost imortalizat intro pictura de Theodore Robinson, ” The Wedding March”. Theodore Butler a devenit o figura cheie si legatura dintre Colonia de artisti americani si Claude Monet.

Dupa o perioada indelungata de boala, Suzanne Hoschede a murit in 1899. Dpa aceea, cele mai multe picturi ale lui Butler au fost peisaje. Marthe Hoschede, sora Suzannei l-a ajutat pe Butler sa-si creasca copiii, Jimmy si Lilly. In 1899 Theodore Earl Butler a hotarat sa se intoarca in Statele Unite.

Dupa sase luni s-a reintors in Giverny si s-a casatorit cu Marthe Hoschedé, sora Suzannei, in 1900. Casatoriile cu cele doua fiice vitrege ale lui Claude Monet l-au apropiat de Monet mai mult decat oricare expatriat american. Blanche Hoschedé Monet, John Singer Sargent si James P. Butler, fiul lui Theodore au fost singurii pictori care au pictat vreodata in gradina lui in Claude Monet, desi si John Leslie Breck a pictat odata.

In 1913, familia Butler s-a mutat in New York dupa ce Butler a primit o comanda pentru a picta panouri murale pentru casa lui William Paine.Impreuna cu prietenul sau, John Sloan, a fondat Society of Independent Artists pe care a condus-o intre 1918 si 1921.
