Item Description
The winner will receive this Maxfield Parrish: Ecstasy Print with purple border.
Born Frederick Parrish, he took the name Maxfield from his Quaker grandmother. His father Stephen was an artist and encouraged his son from an early age and remained Maxfield's greatest influence. Maxfield started out to be an architect, but switched to studying art in 1892. He married Lydia Austin in 1895. He fell ill in 1900 and suffered a nervous breakdown. On doctor's orders, he went to stay at Saranac Lake, NY, where he switched to oil painting. This was his making, as he quickly started using the brilliant colours that became his trademark. Maxfield died in 1966 aged 95. He left behind a collection of famous, dramatic images of fantasy and fairytales like "Ectasy."
Image has purple border. Actual image is approximately 18" x 25" (not including the border)
