Die Venusgrotte im Schlosspark Linderhof. Illusionskunst und High Tech im 19. Jahrhundert. Ziesemer, John (ed.). Berlin: Hendrik Bäβler Verlag, 2019 (ICOMOS - Hefte des Deutschen Nationalkomitees LXX). [Eng & Ger]
ISBN 978-3-945880-45-6
"The Venus Grotto in the park of Linderhof Castle in the Upper Bavarian community of Ettal in southern Bavaria is a unique total work of art of the 19th century. Commissioned by the Bavarian King Ludwig II and significantly co-designed by him, the building combines technological innovation and illusionistic staging art to create an extraordinary experience space that corresponds more to an interactive theatre stage than to traditional grotto architecture. Diagrams of distant and fantastic worlds, the Blue Grotto in Capri and opera scenes by Richard Wagner were realised with the greatest effort in a single location; today they provide a unique view of the technical and artistic innovations of the century before last. Ludwig's claim to create a perfect art experience with all available means led to extraordinary technical and artistic achievements at the Venus Grotto, such as one of the world's first electricity plants for the illumination of the grotto, novel constructive and structural solutions for a natural-realistic grotto architecture and unique theatre effects in the form of light productions and an artificial waterfall."
