Washington After The Crossing

Washington After The Crossing.

This artwork commemorates 250 years of American freedom through the enduring image of George Washington. Everyone knows the story and famous painting of George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River. On Christmas night in 1776, General George Washington led 2,400 Continental Army soldiers across the ice-choked Delaware River. This daring clandestine operation enabled the surprise defeat of Hessian forces at the Battle of Trenton, marking a critical turning point in the American Revolutionary War. This artistic print shows George Washington in all his glory “After The Crossing”.

This design evokes a classic, nostalgic aesthetic, that honors America’s rich heritage and bold ideals that have defined the United States for generations. This is a parody reproduction print based on the famous “Napoleon at the St. Bernard Pass” art (ca 1801 and 1805) by Jacques-Louis David. Initially commissioned by the King of Spain, the composition shows a strongly idealized view of the real crossing that Napoleon and his army made along the Alps through the Great St Bernard Pass in May 1800. This artwork looks stunning in any room.
