Victoriuous Prussian Grenadiers singing a Te Deum after Battle of Leuthen by A Kampf. The Battle of Leuthen was fought in the town of Leuthen (now Lutynia in Poland) on 5 December 1757 and involved Frederick the Great's Prussian Army using maneuver warfare and terrain to rout a larger Austrian force completely. After the battle of Leuthen, the army of Frederick the Great raised the strains of the hymn Te Deum, and it is said that even the mortally wounded joined in the singing. The last of the great Lutheran hymn-writers belonging to the period of the Thirty Years’ War was Martin Rinkart, or Rinckart, a German Lutheran clergyman and hymnist best known for the text to 'Now thank we all our God', which was written ca. 1636 and translated into English in the 19th century by Catherine Winkwort. A Kampf was a German painter who died in 1950.
