"The Proclamation of Wilhelm as Kaiser of the new German Reich, in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles on 18th January 1871" is a significant historical painting by the German artist Anton Alexander von Werner, completed in 1885. The artwork captures a pivotal moment in European history: the declaration of King Wilhelm I of Prussia as the first Emperor (Kaiser) of a unified Germany, following the successful conclusion of the Franco-Prussian War. This event took place in the opulent Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, a location deliberately chosen for its symbolic value, as it was a renowned symbol of French power and grandeur.

Von Werner's painting is notable for its grand scale and meticulous attention to detail, which conveys the solemnity and the political importance of the occasion. The composition is crowded with numerous historical figures who were present at the proclamation, including military leaders, politicians, and members of the German states' delegations. The artist went to great lengths to portray the individuals with historical accuracy, conducting extensive research and even inviting some of the surviving participants to pose for the painting.

The work serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a visual document of the birth of the German Empire, reflecting the nationalistic fervor and the political aspirations of the time. It has been widely analyzed for its representation of the figures, the use of light and space, and its role in shaping the collective memory of the German nation. The painting is held in high esteem in the canon of 19th-century German historical art and remains an important artifact for both art historians and scholars of German history.
