Andreas Schlüter

Encyclopedia Article

Andreas Schlüter (c. 1664-1714), German sculptor and architect, the most artistically powerful exponent of German Baroque sculpture. Probably born in Hamburg, Schlüter was active mainly in Berlin, as court sculptor to Frederick I. Influenced by the work of the Italian sculptors Michelangelo and Bernini, Schlüter worked in carved stone, cast bronze, and stucco relief. Among his most famous sculptures are the statue of Frederick I (1697) at the royal castle in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) and the equestrian statue of Frederick William, the Great Elector (1703, Schloss Charlottenburg, Potsdam), both in bronze. Schlüter's most successful architectural work was the New Palace in Berlin (1706, destroyed in World War II).
