Interesting facts:
Johann Dominicus Quaglio (January 1, 1787, in Munich - April 9, 1837, at Hohenschwangau Castle near Füssen), known as Domenico Quaglio [II.], was one of the most significant architectural painters of German Romanticism, a theater painter, lithographer, and etcher. The extensive Italian-German artistic family Quaglio, from which a number of renowned painters and architects emerged from the 17th to the 20th century, originally came from Laino in Val d’Intelvi (Italy), located between Lake Lugano and Lake Como, and moved to Munich with Elector Karl Theodor. Domenico Quaglio was initially trained as an engraver and lithographer by his father Giuseppe and then at the Munich Art Academy under Carl Ernst Christoph Hess and Johann Michael Mettenleiter. His particular preference, in keeping with his romantic sensibilities, was for Gothic architecture. The painter captured the most important Gothic cathedrals (including Cologne Cathedral and Regensburg Cathedral) in their contemporary state. Crown Prince Maximilian commissioned Quaglio in 1832 to rebuild and decorate Hohenschwangau Castle. According to his designs, the medieval castle ruin was converted into a picturesque castle in the Neo-Gothic style by 1837. (Source: Wikipedia)
