EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of Karl Philipp, Furst (Prince) von Schwarzenberg, the Austrian military commander in chief during the Napoleonic Wars. Born in 1771, Schwarzenberg rose through the ranks of the Austrian military, distinguishing himself in battles against the Ottoman Empire and in Italy before turning his attention to the Napoleonic threat. During the Wars, Schwarzenberg proved to be a formidable opponent to the French forces, leading the Austrian army to several key victories, including the Battle of Wagram in 1809, which effectively ended the war in Central Europe. His military prowess earned him the respect of his soldiers and the admiration of his enemies. Schwarzenberg's strategic acumen extended beyond the battlefield. He played a pivotal role in the Congress of Vienna, which re-drew the map of Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. His diplomatic skills helped to establish a balance of power that would last for decades, ensuring peace and stability in Europe. Despite his many accomplishments, Schwarzenberg remained a humble and dedicated servant of his country. He continued to serve in various military and diplomatic roles until his death in 1820, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest military and political leaders in Austrian history. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man, capturing the essence of his strength, intelligence, and dedication to his country.
