About Washington Crossing the Delaware, 1851 Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze
On the night of Christmas, 1776, General George Washington led 2,400 hungry, ramshackle soldiers across the half-frozen Delaware river in the midst of a storm to mount a surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. It marked a crucial turning point in the Revolutionary War, proving that the underfunded, scrappy Continental army was capable of winning—and became the stuff of American legend, in part due to Washington Crossing the Delaware, a monumental painting by German American artist Emanuel Leutze.
