Product information "Johann Gottfried Schadow: Bust of 'King Frederick II', art casting"
He became a legend even during his lifetime. The name Frederick the Great symbolises an enlightened Prussia. Heroic steadfastness on the one hand and artistic subtlety on the other are among the well-known attributes of the Frederician era, this fascinating epoch of German history. With the help of an army that had grown to 180,000 men by the end of his reign, Frederick II secured Prussia's European supremacy. In terms of domestic policy, the progressive regent represented the ideal of enlightened absolutism. As a far-sighted patron of the arts, architecture and sciences, Frederick the Great is credited with the construction of the famous Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. This royal portrait is one of the most precious treasures of European art. Joh. Gottfried Schadow shows Frederick the Great in a typical pose with a sceptically watchful face and head slightly tilted to one side. Original: Sanssouci Palace, Potsdam. Marble. Polymer ars mundi museum replica, moulded by hand. Height incl. plinth 37 cm.
