American illustrator

Frank Earle Schoonover (August 19, 1877 – September 1, 1972) was an American illustrator who worked in Wilmington, Delaware. A member of the Brandywine School, he was a contributing illustrator to magazines and did more than 5,000 paintings.

Schoonover was born on August 19, 1877, in Oxford, New Jersey. He studied under Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia.

Schoonover became part of what would be known as the Brandywine School when he opted to study art rather than the ministry. A prolific contributor to books and magazines during the early twentieth century, the so called "Golden Age of Illustration", he illustrated stories as diverse as Clarence Mulford's Hopalong Cassidy stories and Edgar Rice Burroughs's A Princess of Mars. In 1918 and 1919, he produced a series of paintings along with Gayle Porter Hoskins illustrating the American forces in the First World War for a series of souvenir prints published in the Ladies Home Journal. Over the course of his career, he made more than 5,000 paintings, many of which were influenced by his travels and the people he met. Jones said, "When I learned that Mr. Blakeslee would consider selling the painting to the right buyer, I felt it was essential to bring this piece back to its rightful home in Tennessee and have the painting here on Veterans Day 11 11 11." Prior to being acquired by Jones, the painting was on loan to the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum.

Schoonover died on September 1, 1972, in Wilmington, Delaware, at 95. The Delaware Art Museum and the Hagley Library maintain an archive of his work and a number of his paintings are held at the Delaware Art Museum.
