EDITORS COMMENTS
Marechal de Saxe: The Austrian Military Commander in the French Service (1696-1750) This striking portrait captures the likeness of Hermann Moritz, Duke of Saxe, better known as Marechal de Saxe, a pivotal figure in European military history. Born in 1696 in Torgau, Saxony, Moritz entered the French military at a young age, rising through the ranks due to his exceptional military prowess. The image portrays Moritz in the prime of his career, with a stern expression and piercing gaze, reflecting his reputation as a formidable commander. He served under the French monarchy during a period of intense conflict, including the War of the Spanish Succession and the Seven Years' War. Marechal de Saxe's military genius was renowned for his innovative tactics and strategic planning. He is most famously known for his victory at the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745, where he led the French forces to a decisive victory against the Austrians. Despite his successes, Moritz's tenure in the French military was not without controversy. He was known for his unconventional methods and was often at odds with his superiors. However, his military brilliance ultimately outweighed any political complications. This portrait serves as a testament to the remarkable military career of Marechal de Saxe, who, despite being an Austrian by birth, became a legendary commander in the French service. The image captures the intensity and focus of a man who dedicated his life to the art of war, leaving an indelible mark on European military history.
