EDITORS COMMENTS
Friedrich II, also known as Friedrich der Große or Frederick the Great, was the King of Prussia from 1740 until his death in 1786. Born on January 24, 1712, in Berlin, Prussia, Friedrich was the successor to his father, König Friedrich Wilhelm I. This striking portrait captures the regal presence and intelligence of the young monarch, who ruled Prussia during a period of great expansion and transformation. Friedrich II is renowned for his military prowess and his commitment to the Enlightenment. He expanded the Prussian army, modernized its tactics, and led it to victory in several major battles, including the Seven Years' War. A patron of the arts and sciences, Friedrich also established the University of Berlin and the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This portrait, created during Friedrich's early reign, depicts him in the traditional attire of a European monarch, with a serious expression and a well-groomed appearance. The artist has captured the sense of authority and determination that would come to define Friedrich's reign. Friedrich II's legacy as a military leader and enlightened ruler continues to be celebrated in Prussia and beyond. His reign marked the height of Prussian power and influence, and his reforms laid the foundation for the modern German state. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life and leadership of one of Europe's most remarkable monarchs.
