He became a student of architect Friedrich Gilly (1772-1800). After returning to Berlin from his first trip to Italy in 1805, he started to earn his living as a painter. When he saw Caspar David Friedrich's painting Wanderer above the Sea of Fog at the 1810 Berlin art exhibition he decided that he would never reach such mastery of painting and turned to architecture. After Napoleon's defeat, Schinkel oversaw the Prussian Building Commission. In this position, he was not only responsible for reshaping the still relatively unspectacular city of Berlin into a representative capital for Prussia. From 1808 to 1817 Schinkel renovated and reconstructed Schloss Rosenau, Coburg, in the Gothic Revival style and rebuilt the ruins of Chorin Abbey. Architecture Works Schinkel's style, in his most productive period, is defined by a turn to Greek rather than Imperial Roman architecture, an attempt to turn away from the style that was linked to the recent French occupiers.

Ein gutes Exemplar; Umschlag etwas berieben u. m. minimalen Läsuren. - Englisch. - . A true child of his time, Schinkel combined a romantic passion with a deep sense of the practical and technical. From 1826, influenced by British industrial building, he developed a revolutionary new brick architecture that anticipated modernism in its rejection of historical precedent and its use of structure. And equally forward-looking was his successful state-sponsored scheme to improve the design of manufactured goods emerging from the new Prussian industries. This survey of Schinkel's extraordinary career is enriched by photographs of his buildings and art objects and reproductions of many of his brilliant drawings and paintings, all accompanied by detailed commentary. The book serves as the catalogue for an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
