English: Bronze bas-relief by Eduard Šmits fon der Launics (1797-1869) [Nikolaus Karl Eduard Schmidt von der Launitz] depicting his brother Georg mortally wounded at the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlacht, October 1813, Leipzig) while defending his homeland as Adjudant against the napoléonic invador.

The preliminary 1819 plaster cast, created in Rom while Launics was student of the Danish sculptor B. Thorvaldsen, is now preserved in the Thorvalden's Museum, Copenhagen.
The bronze bas-relief itself was cast in 1822. Launics had it erected on his brother's grave in the church of their native town, Grobiņa (Liepāja, Latvia) on the occasion of his voyage home undertaken in 1822.
The church was destroyed in 1941, at the beginning of WWII. The bas-relief was retrieved from the ruins and handed over to the now Museum of Liepāja, where it is exhibited.
