A pencil drawing of “The Bavarian Army,” the central sculptural group at the Feldherrnhalle (“Field Marshals’ Hall”) in the Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany.
Created by Ferdinand von Miller representing the victory over the French and the unification of Germany.
The Feldherrnhalle was modelled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, it was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honour the tradition of the Bavarian Army.
Flanking the central statue are the statues of two military leaders Johann Tilly and Karl Philipp von Wrede. The first led Bavarians in the Thirty Years War; the second led the fight against Napoleon. The statues were created by Ludwig Schwanthaler.
The marble lions flanking the steps are the work of Wilhelm Ruemann and date from 1905.
