Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze Postcards
Leutze's depiction of Washington's attack on the Hessians at Trenton on December 25, 1776, was a great success in America and in Germany. Leutze began his first version of this subject in 1849. It was damaged in his studio by fire in 1850 and, although restored and acquired by the Bremen Kunsthalle, was again destroyed in a bombing raid in 1942. In 1850, Leutze began this version of the subject, which was placed on exhibition in New York during October of 1851. At this showing Marshall O. Roberts bought the canvas for the then-enormous sum of $10,000. In 1853, M. Knoedler published an engraving of it. Many studies for the painting exist, as do copies by other artists.Sign up to Mr. Rebates for FREE and save 12% on any zazzle order in addition to a $5.00 sign up bonus All Rights Reserved; without: prejudice, recourse or notice (U.C.C. 1-308)http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Washington_Crossing_the_Delaware.png”washington crossing the delaware” “emanuel leutze” leutze washington delaware “george washington” “general washington” “president washington” “revolutionary war” “american revolution” “crossing the delaware” “president george washington” Hessians Trenton 1776 patriotic patriotism patriot
