Norman Rockwell is considered one of America's most beloved artists. Rockwell painted average Americans at work, at play and at war. He captured simple, but powerful details of everyday life in the United States. Most Americans became familiar with Rockwell’s paintings through his hundreds of cover illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post. The Post was published during the first half of the 20th century. Norman Rockwell painted his first illustration for the weekly magazine in 1916. He was only 22 years old at the time. Rockwell believed the Post to be the “greatest show window in America” for an illustrator. Over the next 47 years, another 320 of his images appeared on the magazine’s cover, and hundreds of his other paintings were in other magazines.
