Antique German landscape painting in miniature of famous castle landmark. This oil painting is signed W. Modinger.fecit 1899 (under tree at R). A nearly miniature landscape with a strong folk art flavor, this painting depicts the world-famous Bavarian Castle, perched atop a mountain crag, built by Mad King Ludwig who reigned 1864-86 (see big write-up in Enc. Britannica). He drowned himself in the lake at the foot of the mountain. Thus the castle became a heavily-visited tourist site. This castle is the fantasy prototype of the fairytale Disneyworld logo. Found unstretchered, this canvas was professionally mounted on corefoam and matted under glass. Canvas only 7-1/4 x 9-3/4 inches. Lightly cleaned but no restorations and in fine original condition. Period antique gold leaf frame 14-1/2 x 16-1/2 inches.
