After Lenbach was elected president of the Munich Artists' Cooperative in 1896, he was also responsible for organising and directing the 1898 carnival celebrations. Under the motto "In Arkadien", he collaborated with architectural painter Joseph Bühlmann to design an elaborate stage set for the Court Theatre, where the celebrations were held with lavish decorations and costumes. The 1987 exhibition catalogue also mentions that the event had an overarching goal: Lenbach "was supposed to reunite fellow artists from the cooperative and secessionists (...)."
