In the same year paintings also Krafft was born. The artist shows here a militia man who just breaks away from his wife and children to draw with his comrades in the war. The protagonist is stylized as a hero because he is willing to sacrifice his life for his country. Instead of a subject to paint from the history of the imperial family, to Krafft decided to depict a scene from the present. Thus, the artist turned against propagated by Füger classical art direction. What is striking is the presentation of the emotions in this genre-like paintings. The family is concerned and sad, while the Landwehr man is about to resolutely striding away. The painter is interested in a realistic representation of the people. He also tried to show credibly the interior of the farmhouse. Through the monumental format, the political-propaganda effect of the painting is clear. [Catherine Lovecký 6/2010]
