Gothic Cathedral with Imperial Palace

This is a reproduction of “Gotische Kirche auf einem Felsen am Meer” by Karl Friedrich Schinkel of 1815.  This is a fine example of the work of this leading architect of German neoclassicism.  He was thirty-four when he created this painting having earned his living for ten years as a painter in Berlin.  After viewing the work of Caspar David Friedrich he devoted himself to architecture and became a leading proponent of Greek Revivalism.  He died on October 9, 1841 in Berlin.  The original of this masterpiece is in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and is 140 cm wide and 94 cm high.
