The Theft That Made The 'Mona Lisa' A Masterpiece

When you think of The Saturday Evening Post, you probably still think of Norman Rockwell. But do you know J.C. Leyendecker?

IYDK, Leyendeck was the go-to commercial artist before Rockwell. He was just as talented (imo), but gayer and more German. Both of which became liabilities after the 1920s.

In the process of researching him and couldn't wait to add his portrait (from 1895) and a few of his selects works from to our "Past" collection.
