Some of the picturesque scenes and subjects painted by one of Chester County’s most famous artists have already become historic landmarks, and now the very place where realist painter Andrew Wyeth created his masterpieces has opened its doors to the public as the newest addition to the freshly renamed Andrew Wyeth Studio and Kuerner Farm National Historic Landmark.

“Visitors can look through Wyeth’s eyes, so to speak, at the nearly unchanged landscape and see many of the vistas he painted,” Philadelphia Magazine asserted in its recent announcement of the news.

Wyeth’s studio stands as a converted schoolhouse in Chadds Ford, surrounded by not only scenic vistas but also several other landmarks already designated by the National Park Service at the Brandywine Conservancy and Brandywine River Museum of Art, including the N.C. Wyeth home and studio as well as the Kuerner Farm.
