Description
As court artist, court sculptor and director of the Berlin Academy of Art, Schluter had a highly responsible position. Following the instructions of Frederick I of Prussia, who wished to compete with the grandeur of the artistic centres of Rome and Paris, Schluuter created what is now known as Baroque Berlin. This monograph sheds light on the historical background of this rich artistic period. It is supplemented with lavish colour illustrations and maps that explore the artistic development and the stylistic peculiarities of Schluter's architectural and sculptural masterpieces.
