EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed print captures the iconic moment of Washington Crossing the Delaware River on December 25,1776. Painted by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze in 1851, this oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting depicts General George Washington leading his troops during their surprise attack on the Hessians at Trenton. The scene showcases a winter landscape with icy floes and boats navigating through them. Despite the treacherous conditions, Washington's brave and intrepid soldiers row forward under his leadership. Washington, who served as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, was not only a military leader but also one of America's Founding Fathers. He presided over the convention that drafted the US Constitution and became its first president from 1789 to 1797. In this image, we see colonial troops dressed in military uniforms carrying banners adorned with stars and stripes. The painting symbolizes both courage and determination as these soldiers fight for American independence against British rule. Leutze's masterpiece serves as a powerful reminder of America's struggle for freedom and honors those who fought valiantly for it. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this historical artwork while paying homage to our nation's past leaders and heroes.
