Masterpieces of the Italian Baroque by Guido Reni, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Luca Giordano in the Upper Gallery of the Neues Palais depict dramatic scenes of unbridled passions and power dynamics marked by violence. Why did King Frederick II choose to bring these particular works together in a ballroom? What messages were they meant to convey to the next generation of the dynasty? This guided tour explores these fascinating questions and offers new perspectives on art, power, and morality at the Prussian court.
