The Harvest

One favorite that is not in the public domain is N.C. Wyeth’s ‘In a Dream I Meet General Washington.’ It comes with a unique story. https://bit.ly/35eaHIE

Wyeth was painting a 30 foot mural of Washington and fell from the scaffolding to a marble floor. That night Wyeth dreamt that he watched the Battle of Brandywine unfold before him as Washington narrated. (Wyeth lived very close to where the Battle of Brandywine took place.) (I)

I always loved this picture because it looks like Washington is stopping to ask Wyeth for directions.

Another favorite is Monet’s ‘Footbridge at Giverny’ at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Unfortunately, it is not in the public domain.
