Corcoran Gallery of Art

Washington, D.C.

The Corcoran Gallery of Art features one original Norman Rockwell painting in its permanent collection.

Of course, the Museum has many other fine works of art in addition to this Norman Rockwell original painting.

The museum's collection includes, among other things, a Frederic Remington bronze, Off the Range (Coming through the Rye).

Also included are two famous George Washington paintings, George Washington by Gilbert Stuart and Washington Before Yorktown by Rembrandt Peale.

There is also an extensive collection of original European artwork, including Repose by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Un verre sur une table (A Glass on a Table) by Pablo Picasso and Willows of Vetheuil by Claude Monet. There is also an extensive photograph collection, pottery, glass and other decorative art pieces.

This Museum is definitely worth a visit as are all the "Norman Rockwell museums" in Washington, DC.

Norton Wins

The sole Norman Rockwell painting in the Museum's collection (so far) is Norton Wins.

Norton Wins appeared inside of the March 1917 issue of St. Nicholas. Norton Wins was also the title of the article by Julien Josephsen and appeared on page 429.

The caption under the illustration in the story reads "Ralph made a desperate flying leap into the demolished cab."

Norton Wins, a 26.25 x 20.75 inch or 66.5 x 52.5 cm oil on canvas, was previously owned by Frank B Hand, Jr.
