Both Friedrich's life and art are marked with an overwhelming sense of loneliness. This becomes more apparent in his later works, from a time when friends, members of his family and fellow pioneers of early romanticism began to either become distant from him or die.
Friedrich (September 5, 1774 – May 7, 1840) suffered depressive episodes in 1799, 1803–1805, c.1813, in 1816 and between 1824 and 1826. There are noticeable thematic shifts in the works he produced during these episodes, which see the emergence of such motifs and death symbols as vultures, owls, graveyards and ruins. From 1826 these motifs became a permanent feature of his output, while his use of colour became more dark and muted. Carus wrote in 1929 that Friedrich "is surrounded by a thick, gloomy cloud of spiritual uncertainty", while in 2004 the psychiatrist Carsten Spitzer wrote that he believed during his life, Friedrich suffered prolonged inertia, a suicide attempt and what the artist himself described as a "dreadful weariness.”

very fascinating for me was the visit in the Imperial Treasury. A Treasury of European history, with the Imperial Regalia (Reichskleinodien) of the Holy Roman Empire. In my birthplace Frankfurt the Emperors were elected, later also crowned, there are copies some of the Imperial Regalia.
To see the original, used by the Emperors for many centuries was very touching. Especially: the Coronation Pallium (Pluviale), an arabian-norman work from Palermo,dating 12th century, used by Friedrich II, the great wise emperor .
And the Holy Lancet, a langobardian work of the 8th or 9th century.
And the Coronation Gospel, used already at the coronation of Charlemagne in 800.
And the so called Stephansbursa, a precious carolingian work, containing Holy Ground from Jerusalem.

Friedrich zu Furstenberg (1885-1916) was a German prince killed in action in Romania. The common comment seen about war is a lament that only the poor die and the wealthy get richer. This is simply incorrect for the Great War. Numerous members of German nobility died in the War. The Allies lost similar numbers of the elite members of society. You had a better chance of surviving as a farmer or coal miner than a graduate of a university, Officers died at a higher rate than enlisted men. It was a brutal time to be a young man.

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (German: [ˈjoːhan ˈkʁɪstɔf ˈfʁiːdʁɪç fɔn ˈʃɪlɐ]; 10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. -Wiki
Bust of Friedrich II
Bronze with shimmering brownish gold patina. Engraved to the reverse "IOH.ECKSTEIN. Fecit Potsdam 1786". H 29 cm, H with stone plinth 44 cm.
Potsdam, Johannes Eckstein, 1786.
Like many sculpted and painted portraits of the king, this posthumous bust also bears the features of Friedrich's death mask. The sculptor Johannes Eckstein was born in Poppenreuth near Fürth and became well-known in Germany for sculpting the Prussian king's face in wax upon his death bed. Friedrich II passed away on 17th August 1786 at the age of 74 with a "strong chesty cough" in the armchair of his study in Sanssouci Palace. The original wax mask is no longer extant, but postcards and photographs of the bust, which was formerly housed in the palace of Monbijou, show how vividly it captured the king's impressive features. Eckstein presumably made several copies of the wax bust upon which he based this life-like bronze version depicting the king with eyes open and wearing a wig.
