George  Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware River    2008–2009 (original model); 2015 (limited edition recast for museum)    Bronze | 33 × 50 cm    This work depicts the historic moment when General George Washington led  the Continental Army across the Delaware River on a freezing night in late  1776—an act that decisively changed the course of the American Revolutionary  War.    Adapted from Emanuel Leutze’s famous 1851 painting Washington Crossing the  Delaware, the sculpture reimagines the scene as a high-relief bronze  composition.    The small-scale model exhibited here corresponds to the monumental bronze  relief (10 ft × 20 ft) installed at the main entrance of the Museum of the  American Revolution, unveiled in April 2017.

华盛顿率军夜渡德拉瓦河发生在1776年年底,是美国独立战争初期大陆军(Continental  Army)扭转战局的关键之举,如果没有这一步棋,独立战争的结局很可能改写。根据美国革命博物馆(美国独立战争博物馆)提供的伊曼纽尔·鲁策1851年同名油画改创为高浮雕。此作品为小模型版。巨幅青铜浮雕高10尺,宽20尺,现悬挂于美国革命历史博物馆新馆建筑楼外墙正门左侧。右侧是她的[美国独立宣言签名者]青铜高浮雕。
