DiaporamaWashington Rallying the Troops at Monmouth
Washington at Monmouth is a stark counterpoint to the almost pensive figure of the Great General shown in "Washington Crossing the Delaware" The former work is Leutze working in the full-blown drama of the 18th century Romantic School - Washington astride a charging courser which has its nostrils flared, flashing saber aloft, from head to toe the larger than life hero. The instant that Leutze dramatized on this canvas was in legend the one time in Washington's life when he was angry enough to lose his temper and use foul language in public.
