1. Title: "Ernst Gideon von Laudon (1717-1790): Austrian Generalissimo" This colored engraving portrays Ernst Gideon von Laudon, a renowned Austrian military leader of the 18th century. Born in 1717, Laudon rose through the ranks to become a Generalissimo, a title signifying the highest military command in the Austrian Empire. The engraving, created in 1766 based on an original drawing by F.B. Durmer, offers a striking representation of Laudon in his prime. Laudon's distinguished appearance is evident in the image. He is depicted wearing the uniform of a high-ranking military officer, complete with a voluminous wig, a white shirt, and a red waistcoat adorned with gold buttons. A golden star on his chest indicates his knighthood, while a sash draped across his shoulder bears the Austrian imperial eagle. In his right hand, he holds a letter or a military dispatch, while his left hand rests on the hilt of his sword. The engraving also features intricate details, such as Laudon's facial features, which reveal his intense focus and determination. His piercing eyes, furrowed brow, and stern expression convey a sense of leadership and resolve. The background of the image includes a decorative border, with various symbols of military rank, such as a shield and a seal, interspersed among elaborate floral motifs. Ernst Gideon von Laudon's military career spanned several European conflicts, including the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War. His strategic prowess and tactical brilliance earned him a formidable reputation on the battlefield. This engraving serves as a testament to his legacy and enduring impact on European military history.
