EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment of "Washington Crossing the Delaware River" on December 25th, 1776. Painted by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze in 1851, this oil on canvas artwork is a copy of an original piece created in 1848. Measuring an impressive 378.5x647 cm, it is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting depicts General George Washington leading his troops across the treacherous icy waters of the Delaware River during the American War of Independence. The scene showcases a group of brave colonial soldiers rowing their boats through ice floes while proudly carrying the Stars and Stripes flag. Despite facing harsh winter conditions and battling against formidable odds, these intrepid men demonstrate unwavering determination as they press forward towards victory. Their military uniforms symbolize their commitment to freedom and their willingness to sacrifice for their country. Notably, this particular artwork is a replica as the original was tragically damaged by fire in 1850. However, even with its replicated status, it continues to evoke a sense of patriotism and admiration for those who fought valiantly during America's struggle for independence. This historic masterpiece serves as a reminder of our nation's past and honors both General George Washington - America's first president - and all those who fought alongside him during this pivotal battle at Trenton, New Jersey.
