Introduction
Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) was an American realist painter, primarily known for his precise and detailed portrayals of the rural landscapes and people of Pennsylvania, Maine, and beyond. He was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, into an artistic family. His father, N.C. Wyeth, was a renowned illustrator, which likely influenced Andrew’s early interest in art.
Andrew Wyeth’s style is often associated with realism, though his work sometimes has elements of symbolism and abstraction. He had worked in a variety of mediums, including watercolour, tempera, and drybrush. While he is perhaps best known for his mastery of egg tempera, he also produced many notable watercolour paintings throughout his career. In his watercolour works, Wyeth often captured the same meticulous attention to detail and emotional depth that characterised his better-known tempera paintings.
