North Antechamber

The North Antechamber and the adjacent gallery formed the entrance to Max Emanuel’s state apartment in the north pavilion and marked the beginning of a magnificent suite of rooms.

The gold-and-white wooden panelling in the French Régence style was designed by the court architect Effner and carved in around 1720 by the court cabinet-maker and ornamental carver Johann Adam Pichler, who also trained in Paris. The wall decoration celebrates the elector’s military fame. The portrait on the back wall thus shows Max Emanuel as the victor of Namur – one of his few successes in the Spanish War of Succession (Joseph Vivien, 1711).
