Often called the "Wyeth Museum" for its extensive collection of works by the internationally acclaimed Wyeth family - grandfather N.C., father Andrew, and son Jamie - the Brandywine River Museum is housed in a converted 19th Century grist mill on the banks of the Brandywine in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. The Brandywine River Museum's N.C. Wyeth Catalogue Raisonné is an extensive compilation of detailed information regarding one of America's foremost illustrators and painters. Since 1990, the project, originally conceived by Betsy James Wyeth, the artist’s daughter-in-law, has been generously supported by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art.
The collection also includes works by Brandywine school founder Howard Pyle and students including Maxfield Parrish, as well as paintings by American illustrators Charles Dana Gibson, Rockwell Kent, and others.
