EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ludwig II, the enigmatic King of Bavaria during the late 19th century. The engraving, created by a French School artist, beautifully captures his presence and demeanor. Ludwig II was known for his eccentricity and unconventional behavior, which eventually led to his tragic demise. This portrait, believed to be taken around 1870, portrays him in a three-quarter length seated position. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and inner turmoil. Despite being hailed as an architectural visionary for commissioning extravagant castles such as Neuschwanstein Castle, Ludwig II's mental state deteriorated over time. He became increasingly isolated from society and was declared insane shortly before his untimely death at the age of 40. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities that lie beneath the surface of power and royalty. It offers us a glimpse into the troubled mind of this enigmatic monarch who left an indelible mark on Bavarian history. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this photograph is part of eArchives Charmet's extensive collection that preserves historical moments like these for future generations to appreciate. Bridgeman Images has made it accessible to art enthusiasts seeking insight into one of Germany's most intriguing rulers - Ludwig II.
