EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent figurine of Frederick the Great on horseback, crafted from glazed porcelain. Created by the German School in the 18th century, this exquisite piece is housed in the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum in Scotland. Frederick II, also known as Friedrich der Grosse, was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. This regal portrayal captures his commanding presence and military prowess as he sits atop his majestic steed. Dressed in a distinguished military uniform befitting his status, Frederick exudes power and authority. The figurine's intricate details are truly remarkable. The ornate border adorned with floral motifs adds an elegant touch to this neoclassical masterpiece. The influence of artists such as Claude Audran, Claude Antoine Coypel, and Jean Baptiste Belin de Fontenay can be seen in its decorative style. The horse itself is beautifully sculpted with lifelike features that highlight its strength and grace. This artwork not only celebrates Frederick's reign but also pays homage to equestrianism as an art form. With its rich history and cultural significance, this photograph print serves as a testament to Germany's artistic heritage during the 18th century. It invites viewers into a world where artistry meets history, capturing both beauty and historical context within a single frame.
