Herrenchiemsee New Palace
Herrenchiemsee New Palace is located in Chiemsee, Germany. King Ludwig II of Bavaria had the royal palace built in 1878, but the palace was incomplete when he passed in 1886. A few weeks after his death, the castle was open to the public. The palace is modeled on Versailles and built as a “Temple of Fam” for King Louis XIV of France, whom Ludwig II admired. Unlike the original Versailles, Herrenchiemsee Palace has toilets, heat, and indoor plumbing. Only twenty of the building’s seventy rooms are finished. This includes the Great Hall of Mirrors, the State Bedroom, the State Staircase, a Ballroom with Roman Emperor statues, and the king’s French rococo-style apartment. In 1876, a large garden was created, including famous fountains, statues, and formal and informal gardens. In 1907, the unfinished North Wing was demolished, and the South Wing was never built. In 1923, Crown Prince Rupprecht ceded the palace to the State of Bavaria. Since 1987, the palace has served as a museum with twelve rooms on the ground floor in the south wing. The property is a complex of royal buildings, including an Augustinian monastery from 1645 in the Old Palace. The monastery was converted into living quarters for King Ludwig II as he inspected the progress of the New Palace. #Castles #Palaces

An update on my newest paintings, The Four Bavarian Lakes (l-r): Ammersee, Bodensee, Königssee, Chiemsee. . . I'm at the stage where I like to say that if someone tore them from my hands I wouldn't chase them down. I usually get to a point where I just have to let them go and I guess these guys are done-ish. . . . . #acrylicpainting #painting #königssee #gay #beer #gaymen #bavaria #bavariagermany #ammersee #chiemsee #art #painter #whatido #Munich #Germany #gaylife #lake #gaystagram #instagay #newwork #gayfit #alps #gaysofinstagram #andechs #gayartists #gayartistsofinstagram #tracht #allegory #bodensee #artforsale (at Brooklyn Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6Tk88uQ26/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
