The War of the Austrian Succession, which took place in the 18th century, was a conflict that involved several key battles and significant events. One such event was the Battle of Fontenoy on 11 May 1745, where Marshal Maurice de Saxe led his troops to victory against an allied force. This battle showcased Saxe's military prowess and strategic brilliance. Another notable figure during this war was Lord Hood, who lived from 1724 to 1816. In 1830, an unknown creator captured his image in a portrait that depicted him as a distinguished and influential individual. The Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle marked the end of this war in 1749. To celebrate this momentous occasion, George Vertue created a plan and elevation for royal fireworks in London. The display must have been spectacular as it aimed to commemorate peace after years of conflict. Re-enactments were also held to remember important battles like the one at Dettingen fought in Bavaria during this war. A black-and-white photograph from the early 20th century captures participants reliving history through these re-enactments. During times of war, leaders often turned to their subjects for support and unity. An intriguing gravure shows a woman ruler appealing to her people for assistance during this tumultuous period. Several battles left lasting impressions on both sides involved in the conflict. The Battle of Mollwitz is depicted vividly through a color lithograph showcasing its intensity and chaos. George II played an active role at Dettingen when he personally participated in combat. An oil painting immortalizes his presence at this crucial battle where he demonstrated bravery alongside his troops. Amidst all the violence and bloodshed, moments of reflection occurred too. A touching color lithograph portrays "The Prayer of Old Dessauer" before the Battle of Kesselsdorf on December 15th, 1745—a poignant reminder of the human side of war.
