Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria (1821–1912)

1902
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.
