Prediama Castle in the Duchy of Carniola, Twelve Hours from Trieste
Karl Friedrich SchinkelGerman, 1781 - 1841
City planner, painter, printmaker, and furniture and set designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel is best known today as the leading architect of Berlin of his time. The subject of this lithograph is a Renaissance castle built into the entrance of a cavern in a rugged cliff face above a mountain stream in Krajna, Slovenia. On his way to Italy in 1803 Schinkel made a number of sketches of the castle and its wildly Romantic setting, which he was able to put to good use thirteen years later when making this lithograph.
