The photo shows a side wing of the Communs in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam. The Communs were built between 1766 and 1769 under Frederick the Great and are located opposite the New Palace. They originally served as farm buildings, kitchens and staff quarters for the palace.
The architecture is Friderician Baroque and is characterised by symmetrical design, large arched windows and a richly decorated façade. The numerous sculptures on the roof and the figures in front of the windows, which depict mythological and allegorical motifs, are particularly striking.
The composition of the picture emphasises the vertical division of the façade and the clear structure of the architecture. The paved forecourt and the monumental windows emphasise the representative effect of the building.
The picture is suitable for art lovers, architecture enthusiasts and collectors of historical motifs. It appeals to people who value cultural content, baroque architecture and structured compositions.
