EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates the Battle of Loweitz, also known as the Battle of Rosbach or the Battle of Prague, which took place on November 5, 1756, in Bohemia during the Seven Years' War. The battle saw the Prussian army, led by King Frederick II of Prussia, triumphantly defeating the Austrian forces under the command of Marshal Brown. The victory was a significant turning point in the war, as it allowed Prussia to gain control over large parts of Saxony, virtually annexing the region. The Battle of Loweitz took place in the autumn of 1756, during one of the most eventful periods in European history. The Seven Years' War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, was a global conflict that involved many European powers, including France, Great Britain, and Austria. The war began when Austria declared war on Prussia, and the Battle of Loweitz was one of the earliest major engagements. Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, was a brilliant military strategist and a formidable leader. He had a small but well-trained and disciplined army, which he used to great effect against the larger and less disciplined Austrian forces. The battle took place near the town of Loweitz, and the Prussian forces managed to outmaneuver and outflank the Austrians, leading to a decisive victory. The aftermath of the Battle of Loweitz saw Prussia gaining control over large parts of Saxony, which had been allied with Austria. This was a significant strategic victory for Prussia, as it gave them a strategic advantage in the ongoing war. The battle is still remembered today as a classic example of the military genius of Frederick the Great and the importance of tactics and discipline on the battlefield.
