EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned German author and playwright, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Painted by Angelica Kauffmann in 1787-88, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 64x52 cm and is currently housed at the Goethe National Museum in Weimar, Germany. Goethe's intellectual brilliance and literary contributions are beautifully captured in this half-length portrait. Dressed in a fur-trimmed coat, his piercing gaze reflects his profound depth of knowledge and creativity. As one of the most influential figures of Weimar Classicism, Goethe's impact on world literature cannot be overstated. Not only was he a prolific writer of poetry, drama, novels, and theological works but also an accomplished scientist and philosopher. This multifaceted genius embraced humanism while exploring various fields such as science and philosophy. The term "Weltliteratur" (world literature) is often associated with Goethe due to his belief in the universality of great literary works transcending national boundaries. His contributions have left an indelible mark on both German literature and global literary traditions. As we admire this remarkable portrait print by Kauffmann, we are reminded of Goethe's enduring legacy as a towering figure within the realms of literature and intellect. This artwork serves as a testament to his immense influence on generations past and present who continue to be inspired by his words and ideas.
