Hello,
<span>This painting is called Washington Crossing the Delaware, by Emanuel Leutze. This painting describes the historic event when General George Washington led the American revolutionary troops across the Delaware River to fight in the Battle of Trenton. It was painted to show the bravery and fortitude of the American troops during the Revolutionary War, increase awareness of George Washington's prestige and leadership, and to remind Americans of their success in gaining independence from England.

Hope this helps
Perspective was one of the most important parts of art
The answer sounds like D. Capturing an accurate representation of an historical figure. Hope I helped you out :)
Portraits were important in early history because if we had found those paintings and pictures we can determine what there life back then was and what materials they had in the past then what higher materials we have now.
ENJOY
