Frederick the Great 1899

"Frederick the Great" is a bronze sculpture created by Jean-Léon Gérôme in 1899. Gérôme, a prominent French artist known for his realism and historical subjects, portrays the Prussian King Frederick II on horseback, capturing the king's regal bearing and military prowess. The sculpture's meticulous detail and lifelike portrayal of the subject, typical of Gérôme's work, have solidified its place as a significant piece in the history of equestrian sculpture. The bronze casting highlights the figure's dynamism and embodies the spirit of a powerful leader.
