Joseph Karl Stieler (1781-1858) was a famous 19th century portraitist and the favorite painter of King Ludwig I of
Bavaria who devoted a picture gallery (the 'Schonheitsgalerie' in the Schloss Nuremberg, Munich, Germany) to
beautiful women of his kingdom. The King personally selected the subjects and commissioned Stieler to paint
their portraits. As a reward for their cooperation, the women received the dresses in which they were painted.
Stieler painted 36 women from 1827-1842; their portraits are still on view at the Schloss Nurenberg. They were
widely reproduced on Royal Vienna porcelain plates. The following are some examples.
