Ludwig Wilhelm Wichmann
Ludwig Wilhelm Wichmann (10 October 1788, Potsdam – 28 June 1859, Berlin) was a German sculptor. He specialized in making portrait busts. Life From 1800, he was a pupil in the studios of Johann Gottfried Schadow. While there, he assisted in creating the Blücher Monument in Rostock and the Luther Monument in Wittenberg. From 1809 to 1813 he lived in Paris, where he worked in the studios of François Joseph Bosio and Jacques-Louis David. When he returned to Berlin, he rejoined the staff at Schadow's workshop. From 1813 to 1815, he participated in the installation and finishing of the Prussian National Monument for the Liberation Wars (Nationaldenkmal für die Befreiungskriege), designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Faced by approaching deadlines, Christian Daniel Rauch and Christian Friedrich Tieck appointed him to finish the designs of their two figures on the Monument: those representing the Battle of Katzbach and the Battle of Bar-sur-Aube.

Berlin
Berlin ( , ) is the capital and largest city of Germany by both area and population. Its 3.7 million inhabitants make it the European Union's most populous city, according to population within city limits. One of Germany's sixteen constituent states, Berlin is surrounded by the State of Brandenburg and contiguous with Potsdam, Brandenburg's capital. Berlin's urban area, which has a population of around 4.5 million, is the second most populous urban area in Germany after the Ruhr. The Berlin-Brandenburg capital region has around 6.2 million inhabitants and is Germany's third-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr and Rhine-Main regions. Berlin straddles the banks of the Spree, which flows into the Havel (a tributary of the Elbe) in the western borough of Spandau. Among the city's main topographical features are the many lakes in the western and southeastern boroughs formed by the Spree, Havel and Dahme, the largest of which is Lake Müggelsee. Due to its l ...

Schlossbrücke
Schlossbrücke is a bridge in the central Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. Built between 1821 and 1824 according to plans designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was named after the nearby City Palace (''Stadtschloss''). The bridge marks the eastern end of the Unter den Linden boulevard. History A bridge at the site, leading across the Spree canal, already existed in the 15th century, when Berlin emerged as the residence of the Brandenburg margraves. The Hohenzollern rulers passed it, when they left their ''Stadtschloss'' residence for hunting in the Tiergarten grounds. Then called ''Hundebrücke'', after the accompanying packs of dogs, the pile bridge was rebuilt in 1738 and later served Napoleon's troops as a direct route into the city centre. In the early 19th century, the wooden bridge was considered inadequate by King Frederick William III of Prussia, who ordered a new prestigious construction and commissioned his court architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

Sculptures Of Nike
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or moulded or cast. Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
