In het leven van Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze
Het hele leven1845–1859
A resource for Americans in Düsseldorf
For visiting Americans he is a real resource: he finds them places to live and work, provides introductions, and gives them emotional and even financial support. For many years he is president of the Düsseldorf Artists’ Association.
1850
Fire in the studio damages the first version
Just after its completion the first version is damaged by fire in his studio; it is restored and acquired by the Kunsthalle Bremen.
1851
Second version shown on Broadway
The second, larger replica of the first version, ordered in 1850 by the Parisian art trader Adolphe Goupil for his New York branch, goes on exhibition on Broadway; it is now owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
