Connection to Alexander Saeltzer?[edit]

A source mentions Saeltzer as his pupil. Does anyone have any information related to this? Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:38, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dependency[edit]

It has been speculated, however, that due to the difficult political circumstances – French occupation and the dependency on the Prussian king – and his relatively early death, which prevented him from seeing the explosive German industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, he was not able to live up to the true potential exhibited by his sketches.

How would dependency on the King harm his oeuvre ? Most artists in any medium would kill for a rich, sympathetic patron.

In an industrial republic artists are not highly valued. Claverhouse (talk) 02:59, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) was a Prussian architect and city planner. He was one of the most prominent architects in Germany and designed both Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic buildings, the most famous of which are found in and around Berlin. He was also a painter and a designer of furniture and stage sets.

This oil-on-canvas painting, entitled Castle by the River, was created by Schinkel in 1820. As an artist, his architectural talent shone through, and his buildings and landscapes are carefully drafted and meticulously executed. The painting is in the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
