N.C. Wyeth's legacy as a preeminent American illustrator is highlighted through his iconic work for classic children's literature, including titles like Treasure Island and The Last of the Mohicans. Over a prolific 43-year career starting in 1902, he created a diverse body of work, encompassing landscapes, portraits, and murals, alongside his illustrations. Despite achieving global recognition, Wyeth struggled with self-doubt, viewing his contributions to illustration as insignificant, which adds a poignant layer to his celebrated artistic journey.
