Product Details:
Emanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware, painted in 1851, is an iconic and dramatic depiction of a pivotal moment in American history. The painting captures General George Washington leading his troops across the icy waters of the Delaware River on the night of December 25-26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War. The composition is charged with energy, featuring a resolute Washington standing tall in a small boat amidst turbulent waters, surrounded by a diverse group of soldiers facing the challenges of a harsh winter night. Leutze's portrayal is more symbolic than strictly historical, emphasizing the determination, sacrifice, and potential for triumph in the face of adversity. The painting became a symbol of American resilience and determination, immortalizing a crucial event that marked a turning point in the Revolutionary War.
