"The Giant"

I have always enjoyed good illustrators who capture the characters or circumstances described in good books well. My favorite has long been N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945). I have collected images of many of his paintings and use them as my ever-changing desktop background. A while back, I joined a Facebook group called "The N.C. Wyeth Fan Club," and have contributed a few of the images I have collected. By far, the most popular of my contributions is the one I posted yesterday: "The Giant" (1923). Right now, there are over 680 "likes" with more constantly appearing.

A comment on Facebook informs me that the painting is hung in the dining room of Westtown School in West Chester, PA. It was "a memorial commissioned by the Westtown School Class of 1910 for their deceased classmate, William Clothier Engle."
