King Frederick II

“Frederick the Great”, “Old Fritz” (1712-1786) had a weird understanding of entrepreneurship. Learned on a guided tour of Neues Palais in Potsdam today.

He was interested in many things. Like clock making for example. He built a factory to make amazing clocks. Each one more spectacular than the next. You can see examples in the castle. If I could, I would stop the tour, sit in a comfortable chair, they all looked comfortable, and look at a clock for two hours.

There was one that had to be charged every 8 days and made sounds of flutes. Each one was more sophisticated than the other one.

The remarkable thing, however is, he was the only customer for his own clocks. He would literally buy them from himself. After he was not around anymore, the factory closed. Mystery.

I won’t spoil for you the story of pineapples and porcelain, also the one with mineral stones and 90 thousand kilograms of murmur dance-floor, that can collapse if even one person of average bmi danced on it.

A man very bewundernswert, I should say. There is some german in the blog.

Frederick the Great's private concert room in Potsdam's Neues Palais was created in the style of the concert room in Sanssouci Palace. The richly decorated wall panelling with its delicate green and golden tones makes the room something very special. This also includes the instruments on the ceiling, which are real gilded instruments. Amazing, isn't it! Video: SPSG/Nicole Romberg

A little Prussian splendor to gild your Sunday :)

1897

Portrait of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse (1895-1903)

Portrait of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse, dated 1897.

The author is unknown, but according to art historian and expert Thomas Aufleger, it could be Kaulbach. Although he possibly met Elisabeth in 1903, he painted Victoria Melita earlier and this portrait could have been drawn in the same occasion.

The portrait above was once in Victoria Melita's Salon in the Neues Palais. The photo below was taken in 1897 by Joseph Magnus.

source: Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt. Thank you Thomas for the info!

Apart from this portrait, 2 more portraits of Elisabeth were made in 1897:

-Portrait (probably dating 1897) by court painter Heinrich Reinhard Kröh (1841-1941). It shows Elisabeth sitting on the floor (in profile), dressed up in white lace and playing with one of her many dogs.

-Art-Noveau watercolour by Joseph Hartmann showing Elisabeth in Grand Duchess Alice's rotunda reception room at the Neues Palais in 1897.
