Portrait of Patriotism: Washington Crossing the Delaware is a historical non-fiction book written by Ann Hawkes Hutton. The book is centered around the famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, which depicts the pivotal moment in American history when General George Washington led his troops across the Delaware River to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Hutton's book explores the events leading up to this momentous occasion, including the challenges faced by Washington and his army, the political climate of the time, and the significance of the victory. The author also delves into the creation and impact of Leutze's iconic painting, examining the artist's inspiration and techniques, as well as the ways in which the image has been used throughout history to symbolize American patriotism and perseverance.Throughout the book, Hutton provides a vivid and engaging account of the events and people involved in this historic moment, bringing to life the struggles and sacrifices of the soldiers who fought for American independence. With its blend of historical analysis and artistic appreciation, Portrait of Patriotism offers a unique perspective on one of the most iconic images in American history, and the enduring legacy of the men and women who fought for freedom and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
