About the piece
Painted in 1772 by Johann Friedrich Meyer, this work captures the architectural splendor of Potsdam's Old Market. The composition centers on the iconic obelisk, flanked by the Stadtschloss and elegant neoclassical buildings, while lively figures and carriages animate the cobblestone square in a fine display of Enlightenment-era urban life.
