The Interior of the Palm House on the Pfaueninsel Near Potsdam

Carl Blechen (German) 1834 This depiction showcases the Palm House, an estate crafted by Karl Friedrich Schinkel to exhibit the Prussian royals' assortment of tropical plants. The scene is dominated by lush palms and overgrown greenery, blurring the lines between architecture and nature, reality and imagination. Vines entwine soaring columns, and bowed fronds create archway-like structures. Carl Blechen, in this vivid portrayal, incorporates a leisure scene inspired by colonialist fantasies of non-European women. The figures, adorned in opulent textiles mirroring the building's colors and motifs, seem to be treated as an extension of the overall decor.
