| Description |
A great sculpture of a little boy wrestling a goose. According to my host in Munich, 'when Greece became a Real Country they wanted some link to the European royalty, but not from a Real Power that might come in and try to take over, so they picked a Bavarian king -- giving them royalty with no power.' Thus beginning a Bavarian obsession with Greek sculpture. The Munich Glyptothek was founded by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, father of King Otto of Greece. From Wikipedia... "King Otto of Greece, (Greek: Όθων, Βασιλεύς της Ελλάδος, Othon, Vasileus tis Ellados) also Prince of Bavaria (June 1, 1815 - July 26, 1867) was made the first modern king of Greece in 1832 under the Convention of London, whereby Greece became a new independent kingdom under the protection of the Great Powers (Great Britain, France and the Russian Empire)."Get 'im! |
