WIP: Rococo Portrait Gallery
For my next set, I wanted to create fewer items so you won’t have to wait so long for new content! That’s why I’m currently working on 4 picture frames in different sizes. I’ve already finished sculpting two of them. These are from the Picture Gallery in Sanssouci - Frederick II had the gallery built between 1755 and 1764 to display parts of his collection of Italian, French, and Flemish masters. Many of the frames were created specifically for this gallery in the Frederician Rococo style. It is also the oldest surviving princely museum building in Germany, so if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check it out!
Instead of historical paintings, I’ll be using portraits of nobles and royalty from various European kingdoms and principalities. All the portraits are from the period between 1700 and 1770, so they’ll match the Rococo frames stylistically. If there are any specific portraits you’d like to see included, send me a DM! :)
