EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting by Louis Braun captures the atmosphere of the Market Square in Nuremberg during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. The city, then part of the Austrian Empire, had been occupied by the Prussians for seven weeks following the Battle of Königgrätz, which marked the beginning of Prussian dominance in German unification. The Market Square, with its grand buildings and intricate facades, serves as the backdrop for a parade of Prussian troops, showcasing the might of the victorious army. The cavalry, with their horses prancing and rearing, and the infantry, marching in formation, exude a sense of discipline and order. The horses' hooves clatter against the cobblestones, adding to the cacophony of sounds that would have filled the air during this military display. The painting also highlights the contrast between the grandeur of the military presence and the everyday life of the city, with houses and buildings lining the square, their residents watching the parade with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. The Austro-Prussian War marked a significant turning point in German history, leading to the unification of Germany under Prussian rule. This painting, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into this historical moment and the impact of military power on civilian life.
