Hallo, mein Name ist Frank und ich bin im wunderschönen Brandenburg zu Hause.

Herzlich Willkommen auf meinem Reiseblog. Hier berichte ich über Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung, aber auch über Reisen in die Ferne.

Am liebsten fotografiere und berichte ich über Schloss- und Parkanlagen sowie Guts- und Herrenhäuser. Aber auch Städtereisen kommen nicht zu kurz.

Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Stöbern auf meiner Seite und hoffe, dass euch meine Beiträge gefallen.

✨ Insights into the Ovid Gallery of the New Chambers in Potsdam ✨

The Ovid Gallery, once radiant in Frederick the Great’s favorite color green, still tells the story of its Baroque splendor. Particularly striking: Five towering mirrors on the northern side reflect the garden vistas seen through the high southern French doors opposite – a spectacular effect inspired by French mirror halls.

🪞 Gilded Stucco Reliefs Honoring Ovid 🪞
At Frederick II’s request, sculptors Johann David and Johann Lorentz Wilhelm Räntz created 14 gilded stucco reliefs depicting scenes from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. These masterpieces portray gods in their transformations – a perfect fit for a space likely used for musical performances.

A highlight of Baroque art and a feast for the senses! 🌟

✨ The Florentine Cabinet in Schloss Favorite Rastatt

A true treasure of art history! It is considered the artistic highlight of Schloss Favorite and is unique in all of Europe in its splendor and design. 💎🌍

The cabinet owes its name to the stunning Pietra Dura panels, created in the renowned workshop of Cosimo III de’ Medici (1670–1723). Using the intricate Commesso technique, thin slices of marble, granite, and semi-precious stones were assembled into radiant images—a masterpiece of Florentine craftsmanship. 🌟

The walls are adorned with 55 panels, featuring motifs of coastal landscapes, still lifes, flowers, fruits, and birds. Even the tabletop is decorated with these luminous images. A unique ensemble that perfectly blends history and art! ✨🎨

The pictures were taken during my collab with @schloesser_bawu Thanks for having me 🙌 ...

🌟 Opulent and refined: The mirror cabinet at Ludwigsburg Palace, expanded around 1721 and richly adorned with gilded stucco, enchants visitors with its fascinating interplay of illusion and reality. Yet behind the elegant façade lies a tantalizing secret: a hidden mirrored door led directly to the bedroom of Duke Eberhard Ludwig’s mistress, Wilhelmine von Grävenitz. A masterpiece of beauty and intrigue… 🪞🏛️
