So you've been seeing all my art of Neuschwanstein Castle, which was built by King Ludwig II. Today I've got a drawing of Linderhof, Ludwig's first castle and the only one to be completed in his lifetime. It's based on Versailles, and is an homage to the French Sun King, King Louis XIV. The grounds around Linderhof are fabulous, and behind the castle is the Grotto of Venus, the largest man-made cave in Europe. It features an underwater lake, lights that change color (impressive when it was built), wave-machines, a waterfall, and paintings of Wagner's operas.
