Ludwig II (sculpture)

 * ... that some historians believe Elisabet Ney's full-length statue (pictured) of "Mad King Ludwig" of Bavaria was created as part of a Prussian scheme to unify Germany? Source: "Later historians ... have either speculated or bluntly stated ... that Elisabet Ney ... was also useful as a political agent. ... Ney's job, [they] reason, was somehow to ingratiate herself with Ludwig and influence him to submit Bavaria ... to Hohenzollern domination."

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article was created within 7 days of nomination. Article hasn't been ITN.  Article is long enough (3459 characters according to DYK checker).  Article does not contain copyvio, or close paraphrasing of the sources I have been able to read (only 1 reference available to check).  Hook is short enough, and is suitably hooky (I chose to QPQ review this because the hook intrigued me).  The two images in the article are CC BY-SA 4.0 licensed, and the hook image appears in the article.  Hook image has rollover text.  Picture is relevant, as it is of the statue that the article is about.  Image is clear but it is bigger than 100 x 100.  I checked if the image was still clear at 100 x 100 and it was.
