EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a portrait of Louis II of Bavaria (1845-1886), also known as "Der Märchenkönig" or "The Fairy Tale King," who reigned as King of Bavaria from 1864 until his mysterious death in 1886. The image, part of the Achille Bertarelli collection of prints housed in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe in Milan, Italy, captures the monarch in an upright, vertical position, dressed in the regal attire of the time. Louis II is renowned for his eccentricities and his passion for architecture, particularly his extravagant castles Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, which were inspired by the operas of Richard Wagner. His love for the arts and his dream of creating a mythical kingdom are reflected in his regal demeanor in this portrait. The interior setting of the print adds an intriguing layer to the image, with rich colors and ornate details that evoke the opulence of the Bavarian court. The engraving technique, a popular method for creating detailed and intricate prints during the 19th century, brings out the fine textures and contours of the King's features and the luxurious fabrics of his attire. The Achille Bertarelli collection, which includes a vast array of prints and portraits, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Milan and Italy as a whole. This particular engraving offers a glimpse into the enigmatic and fascinating life of Louis II of Bavaria, a monarch whose reign was marked by creativity, extravagance, and mystery.
