About the piece
Painted in 1868, Eduard Gaertner’s 'The Academy of Architecture' offers a sophisticated glimpse into mid-19th century Berlin. The work centers on Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s iconic red-brick Bauakademie, rendered with remarkable precision and warmth, while the surrounding street scene hums with the daily activity of horses, carriages, and figures in period dress.
