EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Crown Prince Frederick II in his Corps de Cadets uniform of the Kings Regiment. Painted by Antoine Pesne, a renowned French artist, this oil on panel masterpiece captures the essence of young Frederick's regal presence. The portrait is housed in Schloss Sanssouci, a magnificent palace located in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany. The image portrays Crown Prince Frederick II as a child standing confidently with a spear in hand and an elegant dog by his side. His attire reflects his future role as the prince-electoral of the Holy Roman Empire and later as King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. Known for his military prowess and leadership skills, Frederick earned himself the nickname "der alte Fritz" or "old Fritz". This portrait not only highlights the monarch's aristocratic lineage but also symbolizes his position as heir to power. The sculpture-like quality of Pesne's work brings out every intricate detail - from the boy's hat to his poised stance - showcasing both strength and grace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to an era where monarchy reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of Frederick II's significant contributions to history and offers us a glimpse into the world he once ruled with authority and distinction.
