EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Schwerin's Heroic Death in Prague, 6 May 1757" depicts a pivotal moment in history. Created by Carl Rochling, this color lithograph showcases the bravery and sacrifice of Kurt Christoph Graf von Schwerin, a Prussian Generalfeldmarschall who served under Frederick the Great during the Seven Years' War. In this powerful image, we witness Schwerin on horseback leading his troops into battle. The flag of Prussia waves proudly behind him as he fearlessly charges forward. However, tragedy strikes as a cannonball finds its mark, causing Schwerin to fall from his horse. This dramatic scene captures the intensity and chaos of war while highlighting the unwavering dedication and courage displayed by military leaders like Schwerin. As one of Frederick the Great's most trusted commanders, Schwerin's death was a significant loss for Prussia. His sacrifice symbolizes not only his own heroism but also that of countless soldiers who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period in European history. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their countries. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the price paid for freedom and honor those who have fallen in service to their nations throughout history.
