Mrs. Schuyler Burning Her Wheat Fields on the Approach of the British 1852

Emanuel Leutze's 1852 painting, "Mrs. Schuyler Burning Her Wheat Fields on the Approach of the British," depicts a dramatic scene of a woman setting her wheat field ablaze during the American Revolutionary War. The painting is a powerful example of the genre of historical art, capturing the patriotic spirit of the time. The composition is dynamic, with a strong sense of movement and urgency. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of the figures, the landscape, and the flames of the fire. The painting is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, CA, US.
