Prayer of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau before the Battle of Kesselsdorf
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, we witness a powerful moment in history as Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau bows his head in prayer before the Battle of Kesselsdorf. The image transports us back to December 15,1745, during the War of the Austrian Succession. Leopold I, commanding the Prussian army under King Frederick II (also known as "Old Fritz"), stands amidst his soldiers who are preparing for battle. With a resolute expression on his face and surrounded by an aura of strength and determination, he seeks solace and guidance from above. The artist Richard Knoetel skillfully captures this poignant scene from Paul Kittel's book "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt". Through intricate details and vibrant colors, we can almost hear the whispered prayers rising up from Leopold's lips. This artwork not only showcases a significant historical event but also highlights the importance of faith and spirituality during times of war. It reminds us that even great leaders turn to higher powers when faced with immense challenges. As we gaze upon this print, let us reflect on the courage and conviction displayed by those who fought for their beliefs. May it serve as a reminder that prayer has long been intertwined with human struggles throughout history – offering hope, comfort, and strength in moments when they are needed most.
