The Nave and Apse, without a Transept, of a Cathedral for Berlin 1827 - 1828

This architectural drawing, "The Nave and Apse, without a Transept, of a Cathedral for Berlin," was created by Karl Friedrich Schinkel between 1827 and 1828. The drawing showcases a grand, classical interior with a coffered ceiling, a row of columns lining the nave, and an apse opening in the distance. Schinkel, a prominent German architect and designer, was renowned for his neoclassical style, which is evident in this drawing. His architectural designs often drew inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek architecture, reflecting a desire for order and harmony. The drawing serves as a testament to Schinkel's architectural vision and his influence on the development of 19th-century architecture in Berlin.
