One of the leading figures in the "Golden Age of American Illustration," Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was also the most popular artist of his time. His illustrations, prized by both advertisers and publishers, graced everything from candy boxes and storybooks to major magazines. In the 1920s, Parrish achieved even greater fame and fortune painting for calendars and art prints. Executed in rich, luminescent colors with incredible technical precision, his romantic images--typically featuring beautiful young women posed languorously against a mountainous backdrop--were a huge hit with the public. At one point, one of every four American households had a Parrish reproduction framed on the wall. Freed from financial concerns by his success, Parrish abandoned the "girl on a rock" formula and focused on landscapes in the final decades of his career. His landscapes, which also found a warm audience among the masses, display the same saturated colors and exquisitely rendered details that characterize his paintings of classical or medieval maidens. Likewise, they exude a similar brand of idyllic charm and flair for the dramatic--as demonstrated by the four lovely landscapes reproduced on these cards.
