N.C. Wyeth studied under Howard Pyle and became the most celebrated American illustrator of the early twentieth century, producing the images for Treasure Island (1911), Kidnapped (1913), and The Last of the Mohicans (1919) that defined how several generations of readers visualized those texts. He worked on a large scale and with dramatic lighting influenced by the Old Masters. He was the father of Andrew Wyeth and the grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, making the Wyeths the most significant dynasty in American painting.

Product description
Winsor & Newton has manufactured artists' oil colours in London since 1832, and its professional-grade line remains one of the most widely used in studio painting worldwide. The range covers more than 120 pigments, each ground in cold-pressed linseed or safflower oil to a standard of consistency that has changed little since the nineteenth century. Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon were among the many painters who worked from the Winsor & Newton range throughout their careers.
