Norman Rockwell is considered one of America’s most famous artists of the 20th century. He was known for painting traditional and small-town American scenes. His subjects included sports, war and images of American culture, such as a Thanksgiving dinner or a family praying together. Today, people who own original Norman Rockwell paintings can sell them for a lot of money. A family in Texas had enjoyed their Rockwell image for many years. They thought the picture hanging above their fireplace was a copy not an original painting. But recently, a member of the family discovered the truth the piece was in fact a signed Norman Rockwell masterpiece.
