EDITORS COMMENTS
The painting "Speech before the Battle of Leuthen" by Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel captures a pivotal moment in history during the Seven Years War. Painted in 1858, this oil on canvas artwork depicts Frederick II the Great of Prussia addressing his troops before the battle that took place on December 5,1757. In this powerful image, we see a group of soldiers gathered around their leader on horseback amidst a snowy and cold winter landscape. The unfinished brushstrokes add an element of rawness and urgency to the scene, reflecting the imminent danger faced by these brave men. Menzel's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of horses and soldiers alike. The equestrian figures exude strength and determination as they listen intently to their commander's words. This stirring speech serves as both encouragement and morale boost for the troops who are about to engage in warfare. The Battle of Leuthen was a significant victory for Frederick II against Austria during one of Europe's most devastating conflicts. By capturing this historical event with such skillful artistry, Menzel immortalizes not only the bravery and sacrifice of these soldiers but also pays homage to Prussian military prowess. Displayed at Staatliche Museen Berlin, Germany, this painting stands as a testament to human resilience in times of war while reminding us of our shared history and its impact on shaping nations.
