Who owns the original painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware?
The painting by Emmanuel Leutze is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and it is one of their most visited paintings. It hangs in the American Wing. Many years ago the Park had borrowed it, however, the Park never owned this work. A different, modern oil-painted copy of the work did hang in the Park in more recent years and that painting now hangs in the State Museum in Trenton, New Jersey. A digital image taken from the original painting can be seen at the Park today.
