BAROQUE ROOM
The Baroque Room, is definitely one of the most beautiful places in the entire Palace hotel. The room, as well as the entire Palace, was restored with the help of architect Christopher Jan Schmidt, who adapted the structure to function as a hotel in the palace. The restoration of the Baroque Hall with its illusionist and allegorist paintings was handled by Dresden painter Christoph Wetzel, who also restored the Baroque dome of Dresden's Frauenkirche. The original painting in the Baroque Hall, which has not survived to the present day, was painted by Baroque painter Johann Franz Hoffmann.
Christoph Wetzel
Christoph Wetzel was born in 1947 in Berlin. He earned a degree in panel and wall painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden in 1967. After completing his education, he apprenticed for a year in the restoration of paintings by the old masters before becoming a lecturer at his alma mater. Since 1997, he has been active as an independent artist, and the paintings created in his studio in the small town of Ringenhain have gone on to art exhibitions around the world. Christoph Wetzel is an internationally recognized painter, restorer and conservator of historic wall paintings, especially from the Baroque period.

Soon after, she moved to the United States and settled in Connecticut, where she lives and creates to this day. She has participated in various art exhibitions and competitions in the US and Europe, and her works can be found in many hotels and private collections.
"Ever since I can remember, art has been an important part of my life, and my favorite activity has always been abstract painting. Creating is something that relaxes me, and no matter how big a problem I face in life, when I paint, I forget about the whole world. At that moment it's just me and the canvas. The very thought that people will take a few minutes out of their lives to enjoy and try to understand the message behind my vivid paintings brings me a lot of joy. It makes me want to put even more heart into my future works. I hope that I will always be able to create images depicting the beauty I see around me every day."
