Sketches for carved colonnades incorporate fantastic root-and-branch configurations that would have delighted Spain's art nouveau master, Antoni Gaudí. Ludwig's two other palaces both evoke the rococo splendors of Louis XIV of France. From Linderhof come tutti-frutti-colored, specially commissioned Sèvres porcelain, embroidered screens inspired...
