Biography:  Karl Friedrich Schinkel ( 1781-1841)
Considered to be the most influential German master builder of the early 19th Century,
Schinkel was also an artist, city planner and a famous furniture designer.
His theory was that new designs should draw on the ancient world for inspiration,
rather than slavishly recreate it. His publication ‘ Vorbilder fur Fabrikanten und Handwerker’ (Role models for Makers and Craftsmen) in 1835 had a widespread influence. In Schinkel’s later years, his design drew less from the Neoclassical style and more on the Renaissance.
