Max-Joseph-Denkmal, Bronze memorial statue near National Theater, Munich, Germany
The bronze monument features King Maximilian Joseph seated on a decorative throne, holding a scepter in his left hand and raising his right hand.
The Munich City Council commissioned this memorial in 1824, and sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch completed it in 1835, five years after King Maximilian's death.
The reliefs on the memorial base display scenes of citizens under constitutional protection, along with representations of scientists, clergy members, and artists.
The memorial stands at the intersection of the central axes between the Munich Residence and the National Theater, with restricted wheelchair access.
The king initially rejected being portrayed in a seated position, yet the final design shows him enthroned with intricate classical ornamentation.
