EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic young King Ludwig II of Bavaria, also known as the 'Fairytale King,' in the month of June 1864, just over a year into his reign. Ludwig, born in 1845, was a passionate patron of the arts and architecture, and his love for grandeur and fantasy is reflected in his regal attire. The dark coat, crisp white cravat, and stylish tie pin add to his regal and sophisticated appearance. With his parted hair and intense gaze, Ludwig exudes an air of mystery and determination. Ludwig II reigned as King of Bavaria from March 1864 until his mysterious death in June 1886. His reign was marked by extravagant building projects, including the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. The King's love for the arts and his desire to create a fairytale kingdom led him to commission numerous operas, theaters, and palaces. Despite his artistic and architectural achievements, Ludwig's reign was not without controversy. His extravagant spending and unconventional behavior led to his being declared insane by the Bavarian government, and he was eventually deposed and placed under house arrest. Tragically, he was found dead in Lake Starnberg in June 1886, under circumstances that remain unclear to this day. This historical photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library/WEIMA, offers a glimpse into the life of this fascinating and enigmatic monarch, whose legacy continues to captivate historians, artists, and tourists alike.
