The battle paintings of Albrecht Adam have gained particular significance due to Adam's personal participation in the campaigns, which he documented in numerous sketches. These sketches later served as the basis for the creation of the well-known Leuchtenberg cycle, which is presented and analyzed in this book for the first time in all its details. Following an introduction to the life and work of the painter, all the battle paintings of the cycle are displayed on double pages. With the collaboration of well-known military historians such as Col. P. Carles, P. Coturri, P. Fanfani, P. Foramitti, Y. Martin, and M. Santus, each of the depicted battles is then historically contextualized and the scene analyzed. This allows each painting to be understood by the reader in a new way, as they are enabled to immerse themselves in the strategic situation.
