Emanuel Leutze (1816-1868) Washington Crossing the Delaware 1851, Oil on canvas 📷 @alice__lowe for the @ArtandDesignMatters New York Art Crawl www.ArtandDesignMatters.com Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art This depiction of George Washington (1732-1799) and his men crossing the Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to launch an attack on the Hessians (German soldiers hired by Great Britain) on December 25, 1776—a turning point inthe Revolutionary War – was a great success both in Germany, where Leutze painted it, and in the United States. Its popularity lay chiefly in the choice of subject, appealing as it did to flourishing nationalism at midcentury not only in those two countries but around the world. The work’s monumental scale added to its effectiveness. Despite some historical inaccuracies, the painting remains an object of veneration and is one of the best-known and most extensively published images in American art. It is exhibited here in a reproduction of its original frame, based on a photograph by Mathew B. Brady.
