"Study for a Monument to Queen Louise 1810" is a notable work by the German architect and painter Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Created as a tribute to Queen Louise of Prussia, who was widely admired for her beauty and grace as well as her patriotism during the Napoleonic Wars, the study reflects Schinkel's neoclassical style and his ability to blend architecture with sculpture to create poignant memorials.

Queen Louise, who passed away in 1810, was mourned deeply by the Prussian people and her husband, King Frederick William III. In response to the national sentiment, Schinkel was commissioned to design a monument that would capture her spirit and the nation's reverence for her. The study represents Schinkel's preliminary ideas and artistic process in developing the final monument. It is characterized by its classical references, which were intended to align the queen's image with the timeless virtues of antiquity, and by its use of allegorical figures to symbolize her qualities and her impact on the Prussian people.

The work is significant not only as a piece of commemorative art but also as an example of Schinkel's broader influence on Prussian architecture and design during a period of cultural renaissance following the devastation of the Napoleonic Wars. Schinkel's designs, including this study, contributed to the formation of a distinct Prussian identity in the early 19th century, which combined a respect for classical forms with a burgeoning romantic nationalism.

While the final monument itself may be more widely recognized, "Study for a Monument to Queen Louise 1810" provides valuable insight into Schinkel's creative process and the cultural context of the period. It remains an important artifact for historians and art enthusiasts interested in the evolution of memorial art and the role of neoclassicism in expressing national sentiment during a pivotal moment in European history.
