"The Capture of Major Andre" is a significant historical painting by the American artist Asher Brown Durand, completed in 1853. This artwork is renowned for its depiction of a pivotal moment during the American Revolutionary War—the capture of British Major John Andre by American forces. Andre was apprehended in 1780 while in civilian clothes, carrying incriminating papers that revealed Benedict Arnold's treasonous plans to surrender West Point to the British.

Durand's painting is a masterful representation of this event, emphasizing the dramatic tension and the gravity of the moment. The composition focuses on the figures of Andre and his captors, set against a densely wooded landscape, which adds a somber, secretive ambiance to the scene. The facial expressions and body language of the characters convey a mix of betrayal, surprise, and solemn duty, reflecting the complex emotions involved in this historical episode.

As a leading figure in the Hudson River School, Durand's work often explored themes of nature and nationalism, and "The Capture of Major Andre" is no exception. This painting not only captures a crucial incident in American history but also celebrates the virtues of vigilance and patriotism, which were central to the nation's self-image at the time.

"The Capture of Major Andre" is held in high regard not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit. It showcases Durand's skill in landscape painting and his ability to imbue his subjects with a profound narrative depth. The painting remains an important work for both its artistic and historical contributions, offering insight into the American spirit during the Revolutionary War.
