Additional Information
This classic depiction of the Commander of the Continental Army and First President of the United States, George Washington, shows the iconic founding father during the height of the American Revolution at his headquarters in Valley Forge, PA. Continental troops were suffering from bitterly cold conditions and a lack of necessary supplies, though their spirits remained high as they battled the British for freedom from colonial rule. Some 12,000 troops camped at Valley forge during the winter of 1777, and this tribute was painted in 1911 by noted American artist E. Percy Moran and remains an enduring symbol of early American history.
Born in Philadelphia in 1862, Moran was the son of English immigrants who had come to the United States in the early nineteenth century. His father was also an artist and taught Moran at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Moran became known for painting historical scenes, and this depiction of Washington remains one of his most famous pieces as it represents a pivotal moment in the American Revolution. Moran's classic style and aesthetic were very popular in the early twentieth century and tended to mirror his traditional subjects of early American history and pastoral landscapes.
This remains one of the most paintings of Washington and his ability to inspire American troops throughout the Revolutionary War. The painting draws the viewer in and creates an indelible bond between the past and present. Moran frequently chose Washington as the subject of his work; this remains the most recognized piece.
