## Commentary

With the patronage of King Ludwig I, Munich became an art centre of the first rank, called the &#34;Athens on the Isar&#34;. By this painting, Neureuther set a monument to Munich&#39;s rise to artistic fame. Cornelius is shown enthroned in a triple-arched hall, surrounded by celebrated Munich painters. Architects and art-lovers are also to be seen.
