Summary note
Karl Friedrich Schinkel called his designs for a palace on the Acropolis in Athens and for Orianda Castle in the Crimea a »beautiful dream±. They date from 1834 and 1838 and were Schinkels last major projects, in which he presented his ideal of architecture in brilliant drawings and watercolours, as if in a last will and testament. Both the formal language of neo-Classical architecture and the quality of presentation are brought to a level here that can scarcely be surpassed. It is clear how highly Schinkel himself esteemed these two unrealized designs from the fact that he had them printed as coloured lithographs in his publication Werke der höheren Baukunst für die Ausführung erfunden (Potsdam 1840 to 1842). These lithographs are reprinted in a large format, complemented by the no less spectacular lithographs of the two Pliny villas, Tusculum, and Laurentinum. These works, which represent a highpoint in the long story of the reconstruction of the two villas that have come down to us only in literature, also show Schinkels impressive ability to demonstrate and convey his architectural ideas.
