Brandywine School

The Brandywine School was an American art movement founded in the early 20th century, centered around the Brandywine River region in Pennsylvania. It emphasized realistic, detailed portrayals of American landscapes, family life, and rural scenes, reflecting a sense of national heritage and identity. The style combined traditional craftsmanship with a focus on light, color, and composition. Prominent artists like N.C. Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth were associated with this school, and it played a significant role in shaping American regional art, blending technical skill with a heartfelt depiction of everyday life.
