| Eisenwalzwerk by Adolph Menzel |
The painting shows the production of the railroad controlled by Prussia(former German Kingdom) that supported the Industrialization. However, the machineries and other establishments caused dissatisfaction of the Silesians who worked manually - hence, provoked and led the Uprising.
Eisenwalzwerk was just one of the hundreds of drawings of Adolph Menzel. He is a painter of historicist scenes and is identified to be one of the 19th Century most important German Realists.
