Maxfield Parrish (American, 1870-1966) was the most popular artist of his time--the preeminent figure in the “Golden Age of American Illustration.” Composed in rich, luminous colors, his images attracted intense interest from the public. His art was prized by both publishers and advertisers, and his illustrations graced everything from candy boxes and storybooks to major magazines. On a walking tour of Italy while recovering from a bout of tuberculosis, Parrish painted many landscapes, employing the same saturated colors and adroit rendering that characterize his commercial fantasias. The notecards in this box feature four Italian villas, prime examples of Parrish’s colorful comminglings of natural beauty and classical architecture. Twenty assorted 5 x 7" full-color blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with white envelopes in a decorative box.
