Not on view

Luitpold of Bavaria was named Regent in June 1886, after his nephew, King Ludwig II, was declared mentally incompetent. During the twenty-six years of Luitpold's reign, Bavaria prospered, and Munich became a cultural capital of Europe. At the time Lenbach created this work, he was the most famous portrait painter in Germany.
