The artist was in Dusseldorf at the time of its creation, so the titular body of water was probably painted from the Rhine. Two versions were complete in 1852, though one was destroyed in the British bombing of Bremen during World War II. The event shown took place on December 25, 1776, immediately preceding the Battle of Trenton. 12 feet tall and 20 feet wide, scholars have noted the historical inaccuracy of the flag shown. FTP, name this Emmanuel Leutze painting now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
