The next great American painting is here.

Modeled after Washington Crossing the Delaware by George Caleb Bingham, American painter Jon McNaughton‘s Crossing the Swamp depicted President Donald Trump in Washington’s place — with his coterie of administration officials paddling the boat keeping them (barely) afloat.

My new painting – “Crossing the Swamp”

“Never give up. Never lower your light.

Never stop till the swamp is dry.” – Jon McNaughton

From left to right, the people depicted are: UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Vice President Mike Pence, First Lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, Ivanka Trump, National Security Advisor John Bolton, Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, and Chief of Staff John Kelly.

“I prefer to paint pictures that I believe have relevance to what is going on in the world, that make a statement, that stand for something,” McNaughton wrote on his website.

Twitter erupted over the new work of art, singing its praises, quipping about who was left out, and making plenty of snarky comments:

It’s hard to pick my favorite part of this masterpiece, but I think it may be Gun-clutchin’ Coot John Bolton https://t.co/8opaHyEAk1 — Daniel Summers (@WFKARS) July 31, 2018

Scott Pruitt and Tom Price were thrown overboard a few hundred feet back https://t.co/Yvh7kwxXvV — Jack Holmes (@jackholmes0) July 31, 2018

lot to unpack here but obvious observations first: Bolton looks like he’s hunting Bugs Bunny and Jared Kushner has been left off the boat. https://t.co/G6kiZCi3XR — Jorge Ribas (@jribas) July 31, 2018

I feel like, based on conversations had yesterday, the @realDailyWire staff should kick in to buy this for @benshapiro. https://t.co/8eOUvqNsqk — Emily Zanotti (@emzanotti) July 31, 2018
