Charlottenburg Castle in Berlin

 Enchanting place in Berlin - Charlottenburg Castle. If I only had more time I would visit more interesting objects in Berlin such as Wannsee, Pergamon Museum, some art gallery. I love paintings, so galleries, castles, palaces are always on my list when I travel. Charlottenburg castle has everything I admire: art, history, class and style of this place. I bought a book about the building with full description. I gave it to my mum, so she can look through the paintings as she loves art too. Charlottenburg castle is baroque style palace, which building was completed in 1713. This palace was commissioned by Sophie Charlotte and designed by Johann Arnold Nering. During the Second World War, it was badly damaged and rebuilt after.

 Standing in front of this painting... I couldn't have taken my eyes off it. I would imagine the story in my mind, add history to this painting in my head. What a magnificent piece of art! Franz Kruger is the painter of this masterpiece. Right colours, light, shadows, characters of the event of ,,Parade of the Opernplatz." It proves his special taste, meaning and undisputed talent. He devoted himself to this theme, conveyed his impression and admiration for the army and architecture. You can sense pride and truth behind his work. This vivid image looks so genuine, that you can believe it's a photograph. It could be me there in the crowd, waiting for the parade, looking up the sky, admiring sounds of horse steps and playing music. It could be me on a horseback, riding around and making sure that everything is prepared for the event, people are safe, behaving well and no one is disturbing.
