Artist: WLADYSLAW TEODOR (W. T.) BENDA (1873-1948) Size: 30 x 43 7/8 in./76.2 x 111.5 cm In his time, W. T. Benda was as well known as Norman Rockwell, N. C. Wyeth or Maxfield Parrish, and for good reason: his portraiture is immediately compelling, as this example makes clear. An immigrant from Poland to New York City in 1899, he became closely associated with the Kosciuszko Foundation, and after World War I was honored with the "Polonia Restituta" distinction by the Polish government for his war relief posters like this one. The quotation is from Matthew 25:40. (WWI)
