Valley Painted
Is the painting/drawing The Prayer at Valley Forge by Alonzo Chappell based on a real drawing?

Or is a just an "Idea" of what he thought it may have looked like? Thanks!

The event depicted in The Prayer at Valley Forge happened in the winter of 1777-78.
Alonzo Chappell (1829-1887) could therefore not have witnessed the scene or drawn it.
It's possible that he based his painting on another artist's drawings but it's more likely that he used his imagination.
(I can find no record of any drawings done at the actual scene)

He may have known of this eyewitness account from the "Diary and Remembrances" of Rev. Nathaniel
Randolph Snowden, a Presbyterian minister and a Princeton graduate ;

"I was riding with him (Mr. Potts) near Valley Forge, where the army lay during the war of the Revolution. Mr. Potts was a Senator in our state and a Whig. I told him I was agreeably surprised to find him a friend to his country as the Quakers were mostly Tories. He said, "It was so and I was a rank Tory once, for I never believed that America could proceed against Great Britain whose fleets and armies covered the land and ocean. But something very extraordinary converted me to the good faith."

"What was that?" I inquired. "Do you see that woods, and that plain?" It was about a quarter of a mile from the place we were riding. "There," said he, "laid the army of Washington. It was a most distressing time of ye war, and all were for giving up the ship but that one good man. In that woods," pointing to a close in view, "I heard a plaintive sound, as of a man at prayer. I tied my horse to a sapling and went quietly into the woods and to my astonishment I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other. He was at Prayer to the God of the Armies, beseeching to interpose with his Divine aid, as it was ye Crisis and the cause of the country, of humanity, and of the world.

"Such a prayer I never heard from the lips of man. I left him alone praying. I went home and told my wife, 'I saw a sight and heard today what I never saw or heard before', and just related to her what I had seen and heard and observed. We never thought a man could be a soldier and a Christian, but if there is one in the world, it is Washington. We thought it was the cause of God, and America could prevail."
