Maxfield Parrish (July 25, 1870 - March 30, 1966) was an American painter and illustrator active in the first half of the 20th century.
He is known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery. Parrish's art features dazzlingly luminous colors; the color Parrish blue was named in acknowledgement.
He achieved the results by means of a technique called glazing where bright layers of oil color separated by varnish are applied alternately over a base rendering (Parrish usually used a blue and white monochromatic under painting).
His career spanned fifty years and was wildly successful: his painting “Daybreak” is the most popular art print of the 20th century.
