Schloss Charlottenburg. Berlin 1952.

An ornate equestrian monument stands in sharp contrast to the severely damaged Schloss Charlottenburg in Berlin, 1952. The dome of the grand Baroque palace is shattered, its top blown off to expose the brick interior, and its windows are dark, empty voids. In the foreground, the bronze monument rests on its massive pedestal, where one of the allegorical figures is propped up by a makeshift pile of bricks as onlookers survey the scene.
