EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic encounter between two influential figures of the 18th century, Frederick the Great and Voltaire, at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Prussia. The image showcases their intellectual conversation amidst the opulent backdrop of the palace, symbolizing the meeting of minds during the Enlightenment era. Frederick II, also known as "Old Fritz" was not only a monarch but also a philosopher who championed enlightened ideas. Voltaire, on the other hand, was a renowned writer and philosopher whose works greatly influenced European literature. Their meeting represents an intersection of royalty and intellectuality. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Carl Rochling bring to life this significant moment in history. It is part of a collection titled "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" (Paul Kittel, c 1910), which features illustrations by Rochling and Richard Knotel. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where great minds converged to discuss ideas that would shape society for generations to come. It serves as a testament to both German culture and European enlightenment ideals. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty captured within it.
