Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851)
Artist: Emanuel Leutze
Medium: Oil on canvas
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware is a dramatic and iconic portrayal of American Revolutionary heroism. Depicting General George Washington leading his troops across the icy Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776, the painting combines historical narrative with Romantic idealism. The composition emphasizes determination and unity through dynamic poses, bold lighting, and a heroic central figure. Though historically stylized, the painting has become a symbol of American patriotism and resilience, exemplifying 19th-century historical painting’s emotional and nationalistic power.
