EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - Washington Crossing the Delaware River on the 25th of December, 1776. Painted by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze in 1851, this oil on canvas artwork showcases a detail from Washington's attack on the Hessians at Trenton during the American Revolutionary War. In this particular scene, we see General George Washington leading his troops across icy and treacherous waters as they row their boats through floating ice floes. The soldiers are dressed in their military uniforms, braving the harsh winter conditions with bravery and determination. Washington himself is depicted as an intrepid leader, standing tall at the front of one of the boats. His presence exudes strength and resilience as he guides his colonial troops towards victory against all odds. The painting beautifully captures both the physical challenges faced by these brave soldiers and their unwavering commitment to fighting for independence. It serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and contributions to establishing America as an independent nation. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this artwork symbolizes not only a crucial event in American history but also pays homage to General George Washington - commander-in-chief during the Revolutionary War and first president of the United States.
