It made my trip to Bavaria much more meaningful. ( ) McIntosh chronicles the drive and passion of Ludwig II of Bavaria. Ludwig threw himself in the financially ruinous building campaigns that resulted in stunning pieces of architecture. His castle of Neuschwannstein remains the iconic epitome of Germany. He also had a passion of music, specifically that of Richard Wagner. Again he devoted his time and money to financing the composer. Ludwig also harbored a predeliction of low class men who could only be disastrous for his reign. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The Swan King" is the biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the 19th century, described by Verlaine as 'the only true king of his century'. A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream-world to escape the responsibilities of state. In realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, while his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses. At the age of 40, declared insane in a plot to depose him, Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
