Ludwig II

Monarch, Fairy-Tale King and patron of the arts

In a letter to his former governess, King Ludwig Il of Bavaria, known to feel passionately about art and music, wrote 'I want to remain an eternal mystery to myself and others', and people continue to be fascinated by the enigmatic figure. Richard Wagner's 'Lohengrin' was the first opera Ludwig ever attended and it would have a permanent influence on Ludwig's aesthetic ideals. The swan became his royal emblem. Also called the Fairy-Tale King and the Swan King, he exercised his penchant for elaborate castles by building three architectural masterpieces: Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee and Neuschwanstein, the fanciful vision of a medieval fortress.

The swan, ever-present in Ludwig's castles, inspired the design of this Edition. The artistically crafted Au 750 gold skeleton recalls the paintings adorning the walls of the throne room at Neuschwanstein. The platinum-coated clip symbolises a swan's neck, ending in a swan's head. Engraved on the platinum-coated cap ring, which is set with a ruby, is the code assigned to the opera 'Lohengrin' in the catalogue of Wagner's works: WWV 75.

Commemorating the world-famous fairy-tale castle Neuschwanstein, the edition bears a fine engraving of the castle on the handcrafted Au 750 gold nib, and the shape of the cone is inspired by one of the castle's towers. The fine engraving on the Au 750 gold cone symbolises a detail of the monarch's royal seal, as does the platinum-coated crown on the cap top.
