An example of architectural history with a new type of ceiling painting Exquisite Meissen collection Lustheim Palace is a hunting and garden castle built by Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria on the occasion of his marriage to the emperor's daughter Maria Antonia between 1684 and 1689. Surrounded by a ring-shaped channel, it is located on an artificial island that symbolizes the love island of Cythera. Together with the Old and New Palaces, which are located at the other end of the park, Lustheim Palace is one of the most important Baroque complexes in Germany. Max Emanuel commissioned the Bavarian court builder Enrico Zucalli from Grisons to build it, which reflects Italian influences. Both the castle, which consists of three building cubes, and the garden pavilions on either side of the canal, whose facades are copies of Villa Madama in Rome, show Italian architectural elements. The higher main building bounces back between flank risalites. Its front is decorated with double colossal pilasters. Two-storey wings are attached to the sides. The layout of the interior spaces can already be seen in the plan. In the main building, a banquet hall extends over two floors, from which you can access the apartments of the Elector and the Electress on the side. On the upper floor, there were formerly simple living rooms for the entourage and in the basement the kitchen and living rooms of the servants. The banquet hall and the electoral apartments are decorated with ceiling frescoes glorifying Diana, the goddess of hunting. This first cycle of profane ceiling paintings in Bavaria — created in 1686/87 — is the work of masters Francesco Rosa, Giovanni Trubillio and Johann Anton Gumpp. The treasure of Lustheim is today the Meissen porcelain collection donated by Mr. Ernst Schneider to the Bavarian National Museum in 1968. The extraordinary collection comprises 1800 pieces from the heyday of the Meissen factory in the 18th century, with early tableware by Böttger, chinoiseries by Höroldt and the famous animal figures by Kändler to porcelain from the time of the Seven Years' War.
“Elector Max Emanuel's Versailles” Memorial to the imperial dreams of an absolutist Baroque prince and gallery castle of a passionate art collector. Max Emanuel, who first moved with the Austrians against the Turks and later with the French against the Austrians, gifted Munich with the splendor of Baroque castles such as Schleissheim and Nymphenburg. His imperial dreams wanted to turn Schleissheim into a huge 'royal residence'. However, debt and exile caused plans to shrink. However, the result is impressive. Visitors are still enchanted by a certain charm. The construction of the new castle was begun by the old Zucalli in 1701. (the “French-trained” Effner 1719-26 continued this) But the staircase was only completed by Klenze. This cheerful, festive late Baroque and Rococo architectural building, stretched to 335 m, divided into a central wing, connecting wing and corner pavilions, turns its window-illuminated façade towards the Old Castle in the west and towards the park in the east. French elegance, already visible on the façade in the graceful window design, continues completely inside. The columned hall, the brilliant staircase, the Grand Gallery, the ballrooms and residential escapes revel in light stucco, colorful frescoes and paintings.“Victory over the Turks!” ... announces the program on the upper floor of the central building. J. B. Zimmermann's magnificent stucco sculpture depicts Turkish heads, war trophies, and atlas slaves. Amigonis frescoes celebrate Max Emanuel in the figure of the Roman ancestor Aeneas. The Venetian fresco took Asam's place when his 'sample fresco' in the dome of the stairwell — 'Venus at Vulcan' — fell flat through the Elector because he didn't like his portrait (to the right of Venus). Beich's battle paintings also praise the winner of the Turkish — two huge in the light-filled Great Hall, nine smaller ones in the Victoria Hall, a Baroque jeweler with Hercules baths by Dubut and régence decoration from the Pichler workshop. Bavarian State Painting Collections Newly furnished since 2001, European-style Baroque paintings can now be admired in more than 20 rooms of the New Palace. The Grand Gallery houses, among others, three Rubens works on religious themes as well as the Italians Il Guercino, Castiglione, Saraceni, Giordano. In the apartments, Dutch, French and Italians alternate, such as portraits of Dyck and Vivien, genre scenes of Tenier the Younger and mythological or religious subjects by Crespi, Testa or Manredi.
Opposite the electoral parade castle is the ducal country palace, a late Renaissance building with a pretty dwarf house and a staircase in the middle. The interior was decorated by Candid. After severe war destruction in 1972, it was partly restored and partly reconstructed. Schön the Elder had built the original 1616-23 for Maximilian I with extensive farm buildings. Before that, the simple manor house of Duke William V stood here, surrounded by nine hermitages, wooden huts in the form of small chapels for religious edification. The things that the Bavarian National Museum exhibits in this branch once also served devotion: the rich Gertrud Weinhold collection with cult objects of Christian folk beliefs from all over the world, especially the Catholic centers of South America, Mexico, Poland, but also with ecumenical Examples spread out in 250 display cases under the motto “The Year of God and its Festivals” in the right wing. The left wing serves the Museum of East Prussia and West Prussia.
