Definition
| The river in the painting is not the actual Delaware, it is the Rhine in Germany. The people in the boat are not soldiers, but representations of the American colonists. The painting is full of historical and logical inaccuracies, but they were not important to the narrative Leutze was trying to convey. The painting was made in response to the social unrest in Germany, and was made to invoke a response in the citizens. The original was destroyed in a bombing raid during the world war. |
