EDITORS COMMENTS
The Reception of General Louis Kossuth in New York City captures a historic moment in American history. Painted by E. Percel in 1850, this oil on canvas print depicts the grand celebration held on December 6th, 1851, to honor General Louis Kossuth. General Kossuth was a prominent Hungarian lawyer and politician who played a crucial role during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849. As Regent-President of Hungary, he fought for independence and freedom from Austrian rule. In this vibrant painting, we see General Kossuth on horseback leading a military parade through Castle Garden. The crowd is filled with excitement as they cheer and wave flags to show their support for the esteemed statesman. The scene is alive with energy as troops march alongside the general's cavalry. People can be seen climbing trees to catch a glimpse of the procession while others gather around Castle Clinton to witness this momentous occasion. This artwork not only commemorates an important event but also symbolizes America's commitment to liberty and democracy. It serves as a reminder of our nation's willingness to welcome those fighting for freedom from oppression. Displayed at the Museum of the City of New York, this painting continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of bravery, unity, and unwavering dedication to principles that transcend borders.
