Frederician Rococo

Frederick the Great.

Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, main representative of the Frederician Rococo

Frederician Rococo was a form of Rococo that arose in the Kingdom of Prussia during the reign of Frederick the Great.

Works

Early works from the period were the Schloss Rheinsberg (1736–1740) and - immediately after Frederick took the throne in 1740 - the New Wing of the Schloss Charlottenburg (until 1751), parts of the Potsdamer Stadtschloss, especially its interior furnishings, now largely lost.
