Was Rockwell Looking?

Was Rockwell taking inspiration from the illustrators and painters of Europe? Of course his "Rosie the Riveter" very consciously quotes Michelangelo.

But I wonder if he was looking at other, less well-known sources. We may never know for sure about those examples. But if he was looking, more power to him! He'd be crazy not to take inspiration from the greats of his recent past.
