See also:SCHWANTHALER, See also:LUDWIG See also:MICHAEL (1802-1848) , See also:German sculptor, was See also:born in See also:Munich on the 26th of See also:August 1802. His See also:family had been sculptors in See also:Tirol for three centuries; See also:young Ludwig received his earliest lessons from his See also:father, and the father had been instructed by the grandfather. The last to See also:bear the name was Xaver, who worked in his See also:cousin Ludwig's studio and survived till 1854. For successive generations the family lived by the See also:carving of busts and sepulchral monuments, and from the See also:condition of See also:mechanics See also:rose to that of artists. From the Munich gymnasium Schwanthaler passed as a student to the Munich See also:academy; at first he purposed to be a painter, but afterwards reverted to the plastic arts of his ancestors. His talents received timely encouragement by a See also:commission for an elaborate See also:silver service for the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)

king's table. See also:Cornelius also befriended him; the See also:great painter was occupied on designs for the decoration in See also:fresco of the newly erected See also:Glyptothek, and at his See also:suggestion Schwanthaler was employed on the See also:sculpture within the halls. Thus arose between See also:painting, sculpture, and See also:architecture that See also:union and mutual support which characterized the revival of the arts in See also:Bavaria. Schwanthaler in 1826 went to See also:Italy as a pensioner of the king, and on a second visit in 1832 See also:Thorwaldsen gave him kindly help. His skill was so See also:developed that on his return he was able to meet the extra-See also:ordinary demand for sculpture consequent on King Ludwig's See also:passion for See also:building new palaces, churches, galleries and museums, and he became the See also:fellow-worker of the architects Klenze, Gartner and Ohlmuller, and of the painters Cornelius, Schnorr and See also:Hess. Owing to the magnitude and multitude of the plastic products they turned out, over-pressure and haste in See also:design and workmanship brought down the quality of the See also:art. The See also:works of Schwanthaler in Munich are so many and See also:miscellaneous that they can only be briefly indicated. The new See also:palace is peopled with his statues: the See also:throne-See also:room has twelve imposing gilt See also:bronze figures to ft. high; the same palace is also enriched with a See also:frieze and with sundry other decorations modelled and painted from his drawings. The sculptor, like his contemporary painters, received help from trained pupils. The same prolific artist also furnished the old Pinakothek with twenty-five See also:marbles, commemorative of as many great painters; likewise he supplied a See also:composition for the See also:pediment of the See also:exhibition building facing the Glyptothek, and executed sundry figures for the public library and the See also:- HALL
