Talk:Karl Friedrich Schinkel

Connection to Alexander Saeltzer?
A source mentions Saeltzer as his pupil. Does anyone have any information related to this? Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:38, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Dependency
It has been speculated, however, that due to the difficult political circumstances – French occupation and the dependency on the Prussian king – and his relatively early death, which prevented him from seeing the explosive German industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, he was not able to live up to the true potential exhibited by his sketches.

How would dependency on the King harm his oeuvre ? Most artists in any medium would kill for a rich, sympathetic patron.

In an industrial republic artists are not highly valued. Claverhouse (talk) 02:59, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
