About the piece

Painted in 1771 by Johann Friedrich Meyer, this expansive vista captures the city of Potsdam in its mid-18th-century glory. The composition balances a detailed foreground featuring resting figures and a hound with a wide-reaching view of the Royal Palace and church spires under a vast, cloud-filled sky, rendered in the rich, moody tones characteristic of the era.
