Maxfield Parrish :: The Lantern Bearers, 1908; oil on canvas. | Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas

American illustrator Maxfield Parrish originally created this painting to be reproduced in Collier’s magazine.

Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, who urged artists to ‘go to nature’, they believed in an art of serious subjects treated with maximum realism.
