Beskrivelse:
This big, beautiful book, superbly illustrated, printed and bound, offers a wealth of information in five hundred pages after oversized pages of the development and summit of Prussia's art and architecture. In splendid photographs, it shows in impressive detail the progression of Prussian culture and spirit, from the March of Brandenburg to its establishment as a kingdom, Frederick the Great's reign, to its eventual fate as the singular unifier of the German Empire.
Examples of Prussian sculpture, painting, architecture, urban planning and landscape design abound in these pages. The palaces of Potsdam (the principal example being Sanssouci) and Berlin (Charlottenburg), the numerous examples of church architecture which include the Marienkirche in Prenzlau and Berlin to the different periods of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-classical and Biedermeier periods, are all represented and discussed.
Major painters like Schirmer, Weidemann, Gartner, Kruger, and others; the corresponding architectural works of von Arnim, Hoffmann, Stuler, van der Rohe, Grunberg, von Erdmannsdorff, Gropius and others; the fine sculptures of Georg Ebenhech, Heymuller, Kollwitz, Schluter, the two Rantz brothers and the Wohler father and sons team and others are all here. And it would not be complete without including the works of the celebrated architect, painter and landscape gardener Georg von Knobelsdorff.
This is another superlative production by the publishing house of Konemann and its contributors--a labor of love can be gleaned throughout these pages.
