Slaget ved Gadebusch syd for Wismar den 20. december 1712 var et af de afgørende under Store Nordiske Krig. Det stod mellem en svensk hær under ledelse af general Magnus Stenbock og en dansk-sachsisk styrke. Resultatet blev et blodigt nederlag for danskerne og

sachserne; men slaget banede på længere sigt vejen for de svenske troppers endelige fordrivelse fra Nordtyskland i 1713. Stikket viser de to hæres indledende opstilling med den svenske hær nederst. Slaget var blot ét af de mange voldsomme militære opgør i Nordtyskland i

krigens første faser og muligvis en medvirkende årsag til, at Adam Gottlobs forældre valgte at sende deres lille søn i sikkerhed i Danmark.

Det enevældige styre var kosmopolitisk og valgte sine tjenere uden hensyn til nationalitet i nutidig forstand. I den senere del af Moltkes embedstid begyndte nye begreber som patriotisme og fædrelandskærlighed dog at gøre sig gældende i takt med udvikling af en borgerlig offentlighed. I dette lys er det ganske tankevækkende, at han ved udsmykningen af sit nyopførte Amalienborg-palæ i 1756 valgte at lade kunstneren Joseph-Marie Vien udføre dette motiv, der symboliserer Fædrelandskærligheden. Men det hænger formentlig sammen med, at han forstod fædrelandet som hele den enevældige konges magtområde. Foto Klemp & Woldbye.

Carl Gustav Pilos portræt af gehejmeråd og lensgreve Johan Ludvig Holstein, malet omkring 1750, viser en magtfuld og viljefast personlighed, som i både Christian VI’s og Frederik V’s regeringstid satte sit stærke præg på dansk statsstyre og ydede sit til, at enevælden fungerede. Som chef for Danske Kancelli fra 1735 og frem til sin død i 1763 satte Holstein et stærkt og positivt præg på dansk kultur- og lærdomsliv. Det var bl.a. på hans initiativ, at Videnskabernes Selskab blev stiftet i 1742, og han beklædte i en længere årrække stillingen som dets første præsident.
