See also:Queen Louisa, surprising him one See also:day in the See also:act of modelling her features in See also:wax, sent him to study at the See also:Academy of Art.

William von See also:Humboldt, See also:Canova and See also:Thorwaldsen befriended him. Among other See also:works, he executed bas-reliefs of " See also:Hippolytus and See also:Phaedra," " See also:Mars and See also:Venus wounded by Diomede," and a " See also:Child praying." In 1811 Rauch was commissioned to execute a See also:monument for Queen Louisa of See also:Prussia.

At length, in 183o, he began, along with See also:Schinkel the architect, the See also:models for a See also:colossal equestrian monument at Berlin to Frederick the Great. This See also:work was inaugurated with great pomp in May 1851, and is regarded as one of the See also:master-pieces of See also:modern See also:sculpture. Princes decorated Rauch with honours and the See also:academies of See also:Europe enrolled him among their members. A statue of See also:Kant for See also:Konigsberg and a statue of Thaer for Berlin occupied his See also:attention during some of his last years; and he had just finished a See also:model of " See also:Moses praying between See also:Aaron and Hur " when he was attacked by his last illness. He died on the 3rd of See also:December 1857.
