Description
This is a reproduction of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Leutze of 1851. This wonderful dramatic historical scene was first painted in 1849 and housed in the Bremen Kunsthalle. It was damaged by fire in 1850 and destroyed in a bombing raid in 1942. This version was painted in 1850 and put on display in New York in October, 1851. It was bought by Marshall O. Roberts and has been re-created and reproduced many times. The original of this version is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Emanuel Leutze was a Germany artist who was thirty-three when he first painted this scene. Brought to America as a child, he early began to paint portraits and supported himself with them after his father died when he was fourteen. He obtained sufficient orders when he was twenty-four to study in Dusseldorf and established his reputation in Europe in the following years. He settled in Dusseldorf where he lived for fourteen years. He returned to America in 1859 and gained a wide reputation as a creation of works of patriotic emotionalism. He died in Washington, D.C. in 1868.
