King Ludwig II of Bavaria
This painting depicts King Ludwig II of Bavaria, riding past gypsum rocks in a boat with a servant on the artificial lake of his blue grotto in Linderhof Castle. Ludwig II drowned in 1886 in the Wuermsee, today Lake Starnberg. After his deposition on June 9, 1886, his uncle Luitpold took over, as Prince Regent, the governmental affairs of the Bavarian kingdom. Due to his activity as builder of many well-known Bavarian castles, King Ludwig II received the nickname Fairy Tale King
