Andreas Schluuter (1659-1714) was the most important Baroque sculptor and architect in Northern Europe. Around 1700, he transformed Berlin into a modern residential city. This city guide follows his steps and serves as an ideal companion for the interested visitor wishing to explore Berlin's architecture in relation to Schluter's famous works.
As court artist, court sculptor and director of the Berlin Academy of Art, Schluter had a highly responsible position. Following the instructions of Frederick I of Prussia, who wished to compete with the grandeur of the artistic centres of Rome and Paris, Schluuter created what is now known as Baroque Berlin. This monograph sheds light on the historical background of this rich artistic period. It is supplemented with lavish colour illustrations and maps that explore the artistic development and the stylistic peculiarities of Schluter's architectural and sculptural masterpieces.
