Visit To Metropolitan Museum

A interesting visit to Metropolitan Museum of Art I have recently visit Metropolitian Museum of Art. This is the first time I visit museum in New York city, my first impression for this art museum is tremendous and inspiring. It’s a multi-culture museum, there are sculptures and paintings from all around the world. After two hours of touristing, I was attracted by a painting, which is located in second floor, in American wing section. This painting is oil-on-canvas in 1851 by artist Emanuel Leutze, the name of the painting is Washington crossing the Delaware. The painting is surrounded by a gold color frame, and there are stars engraved into the frame in each side. Right at the top of the frame there is an eagle with wings wide open,
it is possibly symbolized the freedom. The picture itself is dark tone, it makes it look either sun is raising or setting. The painting it only shines at around a specific person, the person seems to have a blue jacket and red cape. He is the only person standing, and has his knee up. I’m assuming he is the leader, because there are two other men hold U.S flag behind him, there are many other men also who is paddling and he is not doing anything. This leader is surrounded by people who are carrying rifles. His ships are also follow by other ships. Other ships are carrying horses and full of men and what seems to be supplies. The boat which leader is standing is emphasized, because it’s the biggest the boat in the painting, other boats with men and horse are seems to be smaller and far away. All the ships seems to be coming ashore. There is a guy putting one of his feet against the stone, getting ready to land. Almost all men carrying different weapons, some of them carrying rifles, some of them carrying swords. They all dress in different dress and color, many of them is in some sort of blue uniform. Almost every men is looking at shore direction and their all have a serious face expression.
