German States (Bavaria)
LotNo. Symbol Cat No. Lot Description
602   imageLudwig II of Bavaria (1845–1886), King of Bavaria, letter dated 31 January 1866, with its original envelope bearing red wax seal on reverse, signed “Ludovico” by the King and addressed to Cardinal Ugolini in Rome, written during the early years of his reign and only months before his death, very fine and rare.

Ludwig II was King of Bavaria from 1864 to 1886, remembered as a romantic and reclusive monarch whose reign combined political withdrawal with extraordinary artistic ambition. A devoted patron of Richard Wagner, he commissioned the construction of fantastical palaces, most famously Neuschwanstein Castle, which have come to symbolise 19th-century Romanticism, and whose mysterious death has only deepened his enduring legend.
