Maxfield Parrish was born in 1870 in Philadelphia. His interests at a very young age were always aimed at art. In college he tried to join one of Howard Pyle's classes, and Pyle told him he had nothing to teach him. He did join a few of Pyle's classes but realized Pyle was right and began his career. He illustrated for several magazines and books, and by 1904 he the covers for many magazines. From 1937 to 1962 he painted luminescent landscapes for calenders. He was best known for his color, which was called "Parrish blue." He died in 1966 in his studio in his sleep.
