The photo shows the New Palace in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, taken from a central perspective along the main avenue. The New Palace was built between 1763 and 1769 under Frederick the Great and is considered one of the most important buildings of the Friderician Rococo period.
The palace complex impresses with its monumental length of around 220 metres, the tambour dome with its gilded crown and the richly decorated façade with over 400 sculptures. The architecture combines Baroque and Neoclassical elements and originally served as a guest house for high-ranking visitors to the Prussian court.
In the foreground of the picture, a symmetrically laid out path leads through a well-tended garden with trees planted in tubs directly towards the palace. The composition emphasises the axial symmetry and the representative effect of the building.
The picture is suitable for lovers of historical architecture, garden art and Prussian cultural history. It will appeal to art lovers and collectors who value cultural motifs and structured compositions.
