Painter Sophie von Hellermann has depicted key scenes from Hanover's history in her stunning, large-scale 17-metre high mural for the East Wing staircase of Künstlerhaus Hanover. George V (King of Hanover), Sophie von der Pfalz (the artist's namesake), and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz are among the individuals shown - all of whose portraits are painted directly onto the wall without preliminary tracings. This volume chronicles this expansive work. It includes excerpts from poetic letters exchanged between the Princess and the scholar Leibniz, which the artist drew on when preparing her work.
