"S C H L O S S Bruchsal - Baroque Spatial Art at B

"S C H L O S S Bruchsal - Baroque Spatial Art at Bruchsal Palace ⁠
⁠
Rising in elegant curves on an oval floor plan, two staircases lead upward, offering a view down into the grotto and culminating in a magnificent domed hall. Light pours in from the sides and above – a stunning interplay of movement, light, and space.⁠
⁠
Grotto, staircase, and domed hall form a harmonious unit that is truly one of a kind.⁠
⁠
Starting in 1728, Balthasar Neumann took over the construction management and in 1731 transformed the original design into one of the most ingenious staircases of the Baroque period. With a keen sense of space and proportion, he created an architectural icon that has made Bruchsal Palace famous far beyond the region". ⁠

"Charlottenburg P A L A C E reimagined by Frederic

"Charlottenburg P A L A C E reimagined by Frederick the Great

Between 1740 and 1760, King Frederick II of Prussia—better known as Frederick the Great—transformed the New Wing of Charlottenburg Palace into his personal residence. Inspired by French Rococo, he enlisted leading artists and architects such as Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Johann August Nahl, and Johann Michael Graff to redesign the interiors in a refined and contemporary style.

Among these rooms is the Versilberte Kammer (Silver Room), located immediately before the king’s private library. Decorated with silvered stucco, white paneling, and upholstered furnishings in red velvet, the room features original 18th-century elements including a pendulum clock, a red canapé and matching fauteuils, as well as wall mirrors integrated into the boiserie—all in the characteristic Federician Rococo.

Its position suggests a role as a reception or waiting room, likely reserved for select visitors. We must not forget that it precedes one of the most restricted spaces of the royal apartment—the library, which only a few had access to. It is therefore plausible that individuals granted a royal audience would have remained here while awaiting the king.

During the war, the ceiling was largely destroyed, but the stucco walls, chimneypiece, and parts of the cornice survived. The 1951–52 restoration, led by the Berlin palace administration, relied on surviving fragments, archival photographs, and existing plans. The reconstruction of the decorative ceiling was based on comparisons with similar rooms in Sanssouci and Potsdam.

The present furnishing follows the documented mid-18th-century arrangement, reflecting Frederick’s preference for unified, symmetrical compositions and limited color palettes in private rooms.

"The Wiblingen Abbey Library Hall, completed in 17

"The Wiblingen Abbey Library Hall, completed in 1744, is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture designed to reflect the value of knowledge and science. Located in the former Benedictine monastery in Ulm, it features ornate columns, richly decorated sculptures, and a striking ceiling fresco that visually embodies the Enlightenment ideal of wisdom as a treasure.⁠

"M A G N I F I C E N T....⁠
⁠
📍Château de Dampierre, a castle in France’s Vallee de Chevreuse, department of the Yvelines, whose history dates back to the 13th century before being rebuilt and transtormed throughout the centuries... Its present appearance came to be in the 17th century when it was rebuilt for the de Luynes family by famed architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart who transformed predominantly the exterior into an elegant Baroque castle... As time wore on into the 19th century, Dampierre again saw change, significant change, this time to its interiors; the Duc de Luynes wished to rework everything to better show off his collections and thus enlisted Architect Félix Duban to manage the project...With gardens designed by Le Notre, Dampierre in 2022 was designated a Monument Historique, a French historic monument... It is currently undergoing another large restoration yet is open to the public"... @domaine.dampierre⁠

"Wisteria floribunda - whilst the rest of the (many!) wisteria in the garden are mostly pure wisteria sinensis, I love this floribunda with its long racemes dangling down over the Spanish patio garden, overlooking the rose garden" 📷️ and copy by @ifordmanor⁠
