The sovereigns returning thanks to God for the victory of Leipzig, 1816. Artist: T Wallis
The sovereigns returning thanks to God for the victory of Leipzig, 1816. The Battle of the Nations (or Battle of Leipzig ) in 1813 was one of the most decisive defeats suffered by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Napoleonic Wars. It was fought on German soil and involved German troops on both sides, as a large proportion of Napoleons troops actually came from the German Confederation of the Rhine. It is considered to be the largest battle in Europe before World War I, with over 500, 000 troops involved. From The History of the War, from the Commencement of the French Revolution to the Present Time, volume II, by Hewson Clarke, published by T Kinnersley (London, 1816)

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sovereigns Returning Thanks to God for the Victory of Leipzig, 1816". This print depicts a powerful moment in history - the aftermath of the Battle of Leipzig, also known as the Battle of Nations. The year was 1813, and Napoleon Bonaparte faced one of his most decisive defeats in the Napoleonic Wars on German soil. In this engraving by T Wallis, we witness an extraordinary scene unfold. Over half a million troops were involved in this monumental battle, with soldiers from both sides hailing from Germany itself. As they gather on the battlefield, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and holding flags high, they are united not only by their shared purpose but also by their faith. The image captures a profound moment as these sovereigns bow their heads in prayer, offering thanks to God for their hard-fought victory. Religion plays a significant role here; it is through divine intervention that triumph has been achieved against all odds. Amidst the chaos and destruction lies a glimmer of hope - symbolized by the presence of royalty amidst common soldiers. Their regal attire stands out against the backdrop of war-torn landscapes and tattered banners. They represent stability and leadership during tumultuous times. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst great conflict, humanity seeks solace in religion and finds strength through unity. It immortalizes an important chapter in European history when nations came together to overcome adversity under divine guidance.
