Maxfield Parrish is a famed illustrator and painter known for his dreamy, vibrant scenes within a Neo-Classical framework. His well-known illustrations have graced the covers of magazines, calendars, children's books, greeting cards, and other printed materials, and he was a leader of the early-20th century Golden Age of Illustration and American Visual Arts. Parrish credits a bout of tuberculosis for allowing him the downtime to experiment with oil paints and glazes, where he ultimately created the brilliant colors for which he is so well known. Parrish's imagery is deeply woven into the fabric of American visual culture, particularly in the early to mid-20th century when he was one of the most popular household artist names.
