Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Ferdinand von, Count

Rauch began in 1830 , along with the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the models for a colossal equestrian monument at Berlin to honor King Friedrich II, der Grosse. This work was inaugurated with great pomp in 1851, and is regarded as one of the masterpieces of modern sculpture, the crowning achievement of Rauch’s work as a portrait and historic sculptor.
