EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the nave and apse of a proposed cathedral for Berlin, designed by the renowned German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel between 1827 and 1828. Schinkel's design for the Berlin Cathedral, which was never built, showcases a grandiose interior with an expansive nave leading to a magnificent apse. The absence of a transept in this design creates a sense of unity and symmetry, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricately detailed vaulted ceiling and the apse's stunning stained glass windows. The print, created using pen and black ink over graphite with traces of pricking on wove paper, is a testament to Schinkel's exceptional drafting skills. The use of contrasting white and black tones adds depth and texture to the drawing, making it a standout piece of 19th-century architectural art. Schinkel's design for the Berlin Cathedral was part of a larger plan to create a grand architectural complex in the heart of the city. The print provides a glimpse into the architect's vision for a cultural and religious center that would serve as a symbol of Berlin's heritage and identity. This rare and historic print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of architecture, religion, and German culture. It can be found in the collections of prestigious art institutions such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a reminder of the enduring influence of Schinkel's work on the field of architecture and the arts.
