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, N.C. Wyeth. Since 1990, the project, originally conceived by Betsy James Wyeth, the artist&rsquo,s daughter-in-law, has been generously supported by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art.
