Frederick William I is known to have been a strict and militaristic ruler who was not particularly interested in art. Nevertheless, he is said to have taken up painting as a dilettante in his old age, and some of his works can be seen in Königs Wusterhausen Palace. These works were often labelled FRIDERICVS WILHELMVS in tormentis pinxit, which means: Friedricus Wilhelmus painted this in his pain
