Emanuel Leutze, 1816-1868: Freedom is the Only King
January 16, 1976 – March 14, 1976
See the first major Leutze exhibition held in this country, including 42 oils and drawings. Born a German, but raised as an American, his allegiance to the cause of freedom was constant and undivided. Leutze's years of artistic maturity were divided between Germany and the U.S. His best-known work, Washington Crossing the Delaware, was painted in Dusseldorf.
