German Painter and Architect, 1781-1841 German architect and painter. As state architect of Prussia (from 1815), he executed many commissions for Frederick William III and other royal family members. He based his work on the revival of various historical styles. His mausoleum for Queen Louise (1810) and the brick and terra-cotta Werdersche Kirche, Berlin (1821 ?C 30), are among the earliest Gothic Revival designs in Europe. Other works include the Greek Revival Schauspielhaus (1818) and Altes Museum (1822 ?C 30), both in Berlin. In 1830 Schinkel became director of the Prussian Office of Public Works; his work as a city planner resulted in new boulevards and squares in Berlin.  Related Paintings of Karl friedrich schinkel :. | Set Design for The Magic Flute:Starry Sky for the Queen of the Night (mk45) | The Garden of Sarastro by Moonlight with Sphinx,decor for Mozart-s opera Die Zauberflote | the temple of lsis and osiris | Study for a Monument to Queen Louise | The Banks of the Spree near Stralau |
