Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The gallery of beautiful women, painted by Joseph Karl Stieler for King Ludwig I, still exerts an unusual fascination for visitors to Munich’s Schloss Nymphenburg. All 36 paintings are reproduced here in colour; the catalogue includes details of the history of the individual portraits and the persons portrayed.

The Gallery of beautiful women painted by Joseph Karl Stieler for King Ludwig I of Bavaria still has an extraordinary impact on today’s visitors. The generous size of this illustrated book and the unprecedented and new photography of the pictures will transport the reader into fascination. This illustrated book presents all 36 portraits in beautiful colours without the usual cropping on the edge of the frame. For each portrait, the authors provide an historical explanation of the represented woman. Brand new layout and generous format of the new edition. Brilliant new photographs of all 36 pictures.
