"The Medicine," published by The Saturday Evening Post in May of 1936, is just one of Rockwell`s over 320 covers for the Post. It is during his time with the Post that Rockwell rose to prominence and solidified his reputation as one of the great illustrators of all time. Showcased in this scene is Rockwell`s tremendous ability to command innocence and nostalgia. The result is an incredibly relatable piece. Depicting an ill boy who grimaces as his mother sternly administers a spoonful of wretched medicine to his mouth, this stunning artwork pulls on our heart strings and provides us with a window to our very own past.
