Catalogue Note
The most highly-regarded German architect of the early nineteenth century, "Schinkel liked distinct, well-organized rooms; he therefore found in the wealth of ancient Greek architecture constantly new inspirations for his own building projects" (Christiane Sahm-von Alten, introduction to an exhibition of Schinkel by the Goethe-Institut Munich, 1985, loosely inserted pamphlet with this lot).
