Answer 26

Artsy editor Isaac Kaplan explains 1) Washington standing - The most obvious is Washington standing in the row boat. He should be standing, as should everyone since frigid water would be at the bottom of the boat, but his precarious pose is absolutely wrong. 2) Washington’s appearance - During this battle, he was a healthy 44 years old, not the aging man in the painting. 3) The lighting - The event actually happened under the cover of night, not at dawn. This was probably a purposeful mistake to capture the glorious lighting of dawn on the flag. 4) The flag - The version of the flag in use was not the right one in 1776. 5) The river - The real river was only a few hundred meters, not as wide and daunting as the picture portrays.
