Freedom from Fear (painting)
''Freedom from Fear'' is the last of the well-known ''Four Freedoms'' oil paintings produced by the American artist Norman Rockwell. The series was based on the four goals called the Four Freedoms enunciated by the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt in his State of the Union Address delivered on January 6, 1941. This work from the series was published in the March 13, 1943 issue of ''The Saturday Evening Post'' alongside an essay by a prominent thinker of the day Stephen Vincent Benét. The painting is generally described as depicting the American children being tucked in by their parents during the Blitz.
==Background==
''Freedom from Fear'' is the last of a series of four oil paintings entitled ''Four Freedoms'', painted by Norman Rockwell. The works were inspired by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a State of the Union Address known as Four Freedoms, delivered to the 77th United States Congress on January 6, 1941. The Four Freedoms' theme was eventually incorporated into the Atlantic Charter, and it became part of the charter of the United Nations.〔 The series of paintings ran in ''The Saturday Evening Post'' accompanied by essays from noted writers on four consecutive weeks: ''Freedom of Speech'' (February 20), ''Freedom of Worship'' (February 27), ''Freedom from Want'' (March 6) and ''Freedom from Fear'' (March 13). Eventually, the series became widely distributed in poster form and became instrumental in the U.S. Government's Second War Bond Drive.
The Blitz was a period of sustained strategic bombing of the United Kingdom by Germany during the Second World War. Between 7 September 1940 and 21 May 1941 there were major aerial raids on 16 British cities. Starting on 7 September 1940, London was bombed by the Luftwaffe for 57 consecutive nights. More than one million London houses were destroyed or damaged, and more than 40,000 civilians were killed, almost half of them in London.〔Richards 1954, p. 217.〕
