Description 11 x 15 watercolor;Charlottenburg Palace, located in Berlin, Germany, is a quintessential example of baroque architecture, characterized by its grandiose design, ornate decorations, features Rococo interiors, and symmetrical layout. It was built between 1695 and 1699 based on designs by the architect J. Arnold Nering. It was initially intended as a small pleasure palace for Sophie Charlotte, wife of Elector Frederick III. After the Elector's was crowned first king of Prussia in 1701, the palace was expanded by the architect Eosander von Gthe into a more representative seat based on the Versailles model. Charlottenburg Palace is among the largest palaces in the world.The most characteristic building element of the palace - its oversized dome. The copper dome roof of Charlottenburg Palace is a striking feature that crowns the central tower of the palace's Old Palace section. The dome, covered in weathered copper, adds a distinct and regal element to the palace's silhouette.
