Schloßhof von Hohenschwangau mit dem Marienbrunnen 

Leopold Rottmann’s watercolor, "Schloßhof von Hohenschwangau mit dem Marienbrunnen" depicts a picturesque view of Hohenschwangau Castle, a 12th-century fortress in Bavaria, Germany. The castle is shown from a low vantage point, emphasizing its imposing size and grandeur. The artist captures the detailed architecture of the castle, including its fortified walls, towers, and elaborate windows. Lush greenery surrounds the castle, creating a contrast between the man-made structure and the natural world. The scene also includes figures in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the composition. This work exemplifies Rottmann's mastery of watercolor technique, capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow. This romantic depiction of the castle, built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria’s father, Maximilian II, showcases the beauty of the region and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of castles in German art.
