In 1745, Frederick II of Prussia (Friedrich der Grosse or der Alte Fritz) (1712-1786) ordered the construction of the palace of Sanssouci in Potsdam. It features a Rococo style with a design by the architect and painter Georg von Wenzeslau Knobelsdorf (1699-1753), whom he had sent to Italy to study. To his refuge he called in French “sanssouci” or “without worry”. The picture gallery has paintings of artistic value; the ones that stand out are those by Rubens.
