EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "On the evening of Kolin, 18th June 1757" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene from the Battle of Kolin, which occurred on that fateful day. In this colour litho artwork by Richard Knoetel, we witness the aftermath of the battle and its impact on both sides. At first glance, our attention is drawn to a wounded Prussian soldier who sits solemnly, his injuries evident. Surrounding him are other soldiers seeking respite after their defeat at the hands of Austrian forces. The atmosphere is somber yet filled with resilience as they gather together amidst the chaos. In contrast to these weary warriors stands Frederick the Great, King of Prussia himself. Despite facing an austere setback, he remains stoic and determined. His royal presence symbolizes strength and leadership even in times of adversity. This powerful composition not only captures a crucial historical event but also serves as a reminder of human endurance during wartime. It showcases both physical wounds suffered by soldiers and their unwavering spirit to carry on despite overwhelming odds. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to the 18th century – an era marked by conflict and struggle for power among European nations. It invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their countries while highlighting themes such as courage, resilience, and sacrifice that resonate across generations.
