'Quiet grandeur' is the quality Winckelmann attributed to classical sculptures whose expression combines deep desires and temperateness. The ethical core of this premise was applicable in military theory, too, in an era that replaced "Cabinet Wars" with people's wars and compulsory military service. This study shows how defense became a central theme of art and how the artistic ideal became closely connected with the military ideal.
