Washington cruzando o rio Delaware

Emanuel Leutze German American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 760

Em 25 de dezembro de 1776, Washington atacou com dois mil e quinhentos homens os mercenários alemães em Trenton, Nova Jersey. O ataque marcou um ponto crucial na Guerra da Independência. Esta representação do evento foi um grande sucesso nos Estados Unidos e também na Alemanha, onde Leutze a pintou. Sua popularidade se devia principalmente ao tema escolhido pelo artista, em sintonia com o nacionalismo ascendente em meados do século, e a suas dimensões monumentais que aumentavam o impacto da cena. Apesar de algumas imprecisões históricas, a imagem continua a ser objeto de veneração e é uma das obras-primas da arte americana mais famosas e mais reproduzidas.
