George Washington at the Battle of Princeton, c. 1779. Creator: Charles Willson Peale (American
George Washington at the Battle of Princeton, c. 1779. Because Peale served under General Washington and befriended him during the Revolutionary War, he was an ideal candidate to compose this painting that commemorates one of Washingtons most important early victories. Even the horse at the right appears impressed with Washington, at whom he gazes with pride. Peales painting was instantly popular, and the artist produced several versions of it amid a rally of enthusiasm for the American cause. Some were commissioned by American colonists, others were ordered by Washingtons admirers in France, Spain, Holland, Cuba, and even England. One of the most remarkable figures in early American history, Peale was interested in natural history and organized the first scientific expedition in the United States. Later, he opened one of the first financially successful museums in America, displaying stuffed animal specimens, fossils, shells, and a large selection of his portrait paintings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic painting "George Washington at the Battle of Princeton" by Charles Willson Peale, dating back to c. 1779. As a soldier who served under General Washington and developed a close friendship with him during the Revolutionary War, Peale was uniquely qualified to create this masterpiece that commemorates one of Washington's pivotal early victories. In this artwork, we witness George Washington standing tall and resolute in his military uniform, exuding an aura of strength and determination. The horse on the right side of the painting seems equally impressed by its rider, gazing at him with evident pride. Peale's painting quickly gained popularity among both American colonists and admirers abroad. It became so sought-after that several versions were commissioned not only within America but also from countries like France, Spain, Holland, Cuba, and even England. This widespread enthusiasm reflected the deep admiration for George Washington as a leader and symbol of American independence. Charles Willson Peale himself was an extraordinary figure in early American history. Apart from being a talented artist known for his portrait paintings, he had a keen interest in natural history. In fact, he organized the first scientific expedition in the United States—an impressive feat that showcases his multifaceted talents. Later on, Peale established one of America's earliest successful museums where he displayed various specimens such as stuffed animals, fossils, shells alongside his remarkable portraits—a testament to his passion for artistry and curiosity about nature. This print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both George Washington's historical significance and Charles Willson Peale's artistic genius while capturing a crucial moment in American history.
