Exploring the 18th century German art scene, we encounter a rich tapestry of historical and portrait paintings. Witness the intensity of "A Camp" (1730) by Dannhauer, depicting soldiers in the midst of battle preparation. In contrast, Corvinus' "A Town Under Siege" (1730) captures the chaos and fear of urban conflict. The danger of the open road is portrayed in "An Attack by Robbers" (early 18th cen), while on a more triumphant note, Corvinus' series of "The Siege of Mons by the Allied Troops in 1709," "Capture of the French fortress of Menin by the Allied Troops in 1706," and "Capture of the Fortress of Audenarde by the Allied Troops in 1708" celebrate military victories. The peaceful and spiritual contrast is found in "The Flight into Egypt," while the regal elegance is reflected in Wedekind's portraits of "Empress Catherine I" (early 18th cen) and "Portrait of Joseph Haydn" (early 18th cen) by a yet-to-be-identified German master.
