Original – A castle that Karl Friedrich Schinkel would probably have liked to build - but he painted it instead.

Reason: Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 – 1841) was a German architect, city planner and painter, know for his Romantic paintings. The Napoleonic wars interfered with his work as architect, so he took up landscape painting while he was not able to work in his occupation, displaying a talent for the romantic delineation of natural scenery.

Support - Very moody, looks like a good example of his work. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support – EV: Expands the artist's persona. I'd always heard of him as an architect and designer. (He designed the Iron Cross medal in 1813.) I didn't realize he was also a painter. Sca (talk) 13:59, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Charming image, full of some lovely details - the target, the deer... Bit of a walk to get up to the castle, but I bet it'd be worth it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
