Picture Lights - Enhance Yoru Next Art Outing

I have been writing a series of posts about a trip my family took to a local art gallery in which I asked each of my children to research an artist and painting to be displayed at the exhibit.  While I studied the method used and the installation of the Picture Lights , the kids enjoyed learning about and sharing their knowledge of the local art exhibit.

The last one that they chose was a painting by 19th century painter Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze.  He was a German born painter that moves to the United States to study art.  He was famous for painting George Washington crossing the Delaware.  He came to America several times to do his research in museums to study the designs of George Washington uniform of the time.  The painting was actually painted in Germany.  The painter used the Rhine River as the model of the Delaware River.
