In 2011  Knstler ignited a media firestorm when he painted a version of Washington crossing the Delaware that many believe is a more factual representation of the momentous scene than Emanuel Leutzes iconic work  Washington Crossing the Delawarethe most popular painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Spurred by that fierce debate  which was covered everywhere from the New York Times to ABC News  this beautiful volume presents Knstlers artistic vision of Americas birth.
