During his entire reign Maximilian II Emanuel patronized the arts. As governor of the Spanish Netherlands he acquired numerous [[Dutch art|Dutch]] and [[Flemish art|Flemish paintings]] for the [[Alte Pinakothek|Wittelsbach collection]].

The first half of Max Emanuel's reign was still dominated by his parents' Italian court artists, like [[Enrico Zuccalli]] and [[Giovanni Antonio Viscardi]]. Between 1684 and 1688, Zuccalli built the Italian style [[Schleissheim Palace#Lustheim Palace|Lustheim Palace]] for Max Emanuel and his first wife Maria Antonia, located on a central island. With the appointment of [[Joseph Effner]] serving as chief architect of the court and the young [[François de Cuvilliés]] as his assistant, the French influence significantly increased and Max Emanuel's return in 1715 marked the origin of the era of Bavarian [[Rococo]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=993&page=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312094739/http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=993&page=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 12, 2007 |title= François de Cuvilliés    |publisher= Getty | access-date= April 13, 2020  }}</ref><ref name="Robertson2009">{{cite book|author=Michael Robertson|title=The Courtly Consort Suite in German-speaking Europe, 1650–1706|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=46vj6bKoHxsC&pg=PA175|year=2009|publisher=Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.|isbn=978-0-7546-6451-2|pages=175–}}</ref>

The [[Nymphenburg Palace]] was enlarged, the [[Dachau Palace]] redesigned, and the new [[Schleissheim Palace]] was finally completed (1726) during Max Emanuel's reign. These palaces were connected with a network of canals as Max Emanuel had become acquainted with in the Netherlands. Between 1715 and 1717, he had the [[Baroque|Baroque style]] [[Fürstenried Palace]] built by Effner as a hunting lodge which was the extension and modification of an already existing noble mansion.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.sueddeutscher-barock.ch/PDF_Bau/Nymphenburg_Burgen_Max_II_Emanuel.pdf | title=Schloss und Schlossgarten Nymphenburg – Die Gartengebäude von Kurfürst Max II.
