Returning from a trip to Italy, Friedrich Wilhelm III (r 1797–1848) commissioned Karl Friedrich Schinkel to design the Neuer Pavillon as a summer retreat modeled on neoclassical Italian villas. Today, the mini-palace shows off Schinkel's many talents as architect, painter and designer, while also presenting sculpture by Christian Daniel Rauch and master paintings by such Schinkel contemporaries as Caspar David Friedrich and Eduard Gaertner.
