A regal palm tree and other exotic foliage decorate the gleaming “Interior of a Palm House” by Karl Blechen, which depicts the hothouse of Prussian King Frederick-William III. Blechen (1798 – 1840) was a master of German Realism, and often painted outdoors to portray his subjects as literally as possible. Appointed stage painter of the Berlin Royal Theater, he was able to indulge his remarkable, mysterious style. Using dazzling colors and unconventional themes, Blechen became one of the 19th century‘s foremost artists.
