The Evening of the Battle of Kolin
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant depiction of King Frederick the Great's despair after his army's defeat in the Seven Years War. This color lithograph, created by Richard Knoetel, captures the essence of defeat and dejection that engulfed Frederick II on June 18,1757. In this powerful image, we witness a desolate battlefield where soldiers stand dejectedly amidst fallen comrades. The king himself sits atop his horse, his face etched with sorrow and disappointment. His once proud demeanor now replaced by an overwhelming sense of despair. The artist skillfully portrays the aftermath of battle through vivid colors and intricate details. From the tattered flags to smoke-filled skies, every element adds to the somber atmosphere surrounding Frederick and his defeated army. This print was part of "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" a collection illustrating pivotal moments from Frederick's life. Created by Carl Rochling and Richard Knotel, these illustrations aimed to capture both historical accuracy and emotional depth. "The Evening of the Battle of Kolin" serves as a reminder that even great leaders experience moments of vulnerability. It showcases not only Frederick's personal struggle but also reflects upon larger themes such as war, monarchy, and European history. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one man's anguish amidst a tumultuous era. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity while reminding us that even kings can be touched by despair.
