The artwork Neuschwanstein (FS II.372) by Andy Warhol was created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bavarian Reinsurance Company in Munich. Neuschwanstein Castle towers over the Bavarian village of Hohenschwangau. It is a neo-Romanesque castle that was built as a retreat for King Ludwig II. After his death, it was opened to the public and has since welcomed more than 61 million visitors. Due to its enchanting, majestic and larger-than-life appearance, it has been used in many films and is said to have served as the inspiration for Disneyland’s Magic Castle. Neuschwanstein 372 as part of Andy Warhol’s larger body of work Andy Warhol was inspired by the aesthetic qualities and historical relevance of architecture, which is evident in his artworks featuring historic buildings. Other architectural figures Warhol has depicted include the Cologne Cathedral in Cologne, Germany, and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. However, instead of focusing solely on the architecture of the building as he does in his other prints, in Neuschwanstein 372 Warhol zooms out from the iconic facade of the castle to show the picturesque landscape in the background. The painting is surreal, with a neon pink sky and blue-framed mountains lending the scene an enchanting aura.
