EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Frederick II the Great, a prominent figure in Prussian history. Painted by Anton Graff in 1764, this oil on canvas print showcases the ruler's commanding presence and regal demeanor. Frederick II, also known as Friedrich der Grosse or "old Fritz" was not only a prince-electoral of the Holy Roman Empire but also reigned as King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. As a member of the Hohenzollern dynasty, he played a significant role in shaping European politics during his time. In this portrait, Frederick II stands tall and proud, donning an elegant uniform adorned with intricate details that symbolize his authority. His hat and sword further emphasize his position as a nobleman and leader. Holding a telescope in one hand, he exudes an air of intellectual curiosity and strategic thinking. The setting for this painting is Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany – an opulent palace that served as Frederick II's summer residence. The grandeur of the location adds to the overall magnificence portrayed in this artwork. Through this remarkable piece by Anton Graff, we are transported back to an era where monarchs ruled with absolute power and nobility held immense influence over society. This print serves as both a historical document and a testament to Frederick II's enduring legacy as one of Prussia's most revered rulers.
