Catalogue Note
A very rare set of five (of a total of six) hand-coloured views of the magnificent gardens at Schwetzingen Palace showing buildings and follies designed by the French architect Nicolas de Pigage (1723-1796), at the instruction of Palatine Prince Elector Carl Theodor (1724–1799). The five plates show the spectacular late-Baroque mosque in the Turkish gardens (the largest structure of its kind in a German garden), the Temple of Apollo, the Aqueduct, the Temple of Minerva, and the Temple of the Forest.
