English term or phrase: Norman Rockwell-ish
"The scene in the dining room was so Norman Rockwell-ish that Anne nearly sighed."

Jeg vil være taknemmelig, hvis der er nogen, der kan forklare mig, hvad Norman Rockwell står for og/eller har en god oversættelse af begrebet, for jeg er helt på bar bund her.

Explanation:
Spisestuen var indrettet sådan helt i Norman Rockwell-stil .... du kender talemåden fra den svenske maler Carl Larson .... malerierne er så kendte at når nogen indretter sig i den stil... så henviser man til det ved at sige i ren Carl Larsson-stil ...

Tak for hjælpen. Jeg bruger dit forslag, selv om jeg ville have været glad for at vide, hvilken genre, det drejer sig om. (I Skandinavien kender vi jo udmærket Carl Larsson, mens jeg ikke aner, om Norman Rockwell er naturistisk, avantgarde eller noget helt tredje.) Men tak alligevel :-)
