1. Title: "Count Leopold Joseph von Daun (1705-1766), Later Prince of Thiano: Austrian Field Marshal" This portrait depicts Count Leopold Joseph von Daun, a prominent Austrian military leader who rose through the ranks to become a field marshal during the 18th century. Born in 1705, Leopold Joseph von Daun served under Emperor Charles VI and later under Maria Theresa, playing a crucial role in the Seven Years' War and the Austrian succession. Leopold Joseph von Daun's military career began in 1726 when he joined the Imperial Army. He quickly proved himself to be an exceptional commander, and his strategic prowess was evident in the Battle of Mollwitz in 1741, where he led the Austrian forces to a decisive victory against the Prussians. In the following years, he continued to lead the Austrian forces in various battles, contributing significantly to the Austrian success in the Seven Years' War. In 1758, Leopold Joseph von Daun was appointed as the Austrian chief of staff, and in 1761, he was granted the title of field marshal. In 1762, he was rewarded for his military achievements by being granted the title of Prince of Thiano. The portrait showcases the count's regal bearing and the air of authority that made him a respected and feared military leader in Europe during the 18th century. This engraving, created in the 19th century, provides a vivid and colorful representation of Count Leopold Joseph von Daun's impressive appearance and military accomplishments. The portrait is a testament to the significant role he played in Austrian history, particularly during the Seven Years' War and the Austrian succession.
