EDITORS COMMENTS
Friedrich II, also known as Friedrich der Große (Friedrich the Great), was the King of Prussia from 1740 until his death in 1786. This striking statue, created in the late 19th century, depicts the monarch in his regal attire, seated on a throne beneath a grand Gothic arch. The king is deep in thought as he listens intently to a petitioner, who presents him with a letter. The petitioner, dressed in the attire of the common people, bows respectfully, his eyes fixed on the ground. Friedrich II was known for his enlightened rule and his love of the arts, literature, and philosophy. He was also an accomplished military leader, leading his armies to victory in several major battles during the Seven Years' War. However, he was also known for his authoritarian rule and his harsh treatment of his subjects. This encounter between the king and the petitioner is a poignant reminder of the power dynamics that existed during the monarchy. The petitioner, with his humble demeanor and outstretched hand, represents the hopes and fears of the common people, who relied on the king's mercy and justice. Friedrich II, with his stern expression and regal bearing, embodies the power and authority of the monarchy. The statue, which was created in 1786, the year of Friedrich II's death, stands as a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of his reign. The greyhounds at the king's feet are a symbol of his love of hunting, a pastime that he pursued avidly throughout his life. The statue, with its intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the king and the petitioner, is a powerful reminder of the rich history and culture of Prussia during the 18th century.
