Gamaliel Waldo Beaman was a Massachusetts painter whose career began in Westminster and Northfield and included travels through the Pioneer Valley, the White Mountains, the Western Territories, and a period in Pont-Aven, France. He later worked in Boston among leading artists of the time, painted seascapes in Manchester-by-the-Sea, and produced historical views of Lookout Mountain while in Tennessee. For the last forty years of his life, he lived in Princeton, Massachusetts, focusing on local scenes such as Mt. Wachusett and Mt. Monadnock. In addition to his art, Beaman was a respected antiquarian and dealer with a lifelong interest in antiques and collectibles.
