Mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria used his country's treasure to build a castle instead of an army. The armies have come and gone, but his castle remains and became the inspiration for Walt Disney's castle of Sleeping Beauty. I painted this for my doctor friend, Dr. David McCoy, who removed some skin lesions. He only his his own children's art in his office, plus a small poster of this Neuschwanstein Castle. He studied medicine in German and met and married his wife there as well.
