EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a rare glimpse into the private world of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Germany's most celebrated literary figures. In this intimate scene, we see Goethe in his study with his devoted secretary, John, in 1831. The image exudes an aura of creativity and intellectual pursuit as Goethe stands at his writing desk engrossed in thought.
The attention to detail in this print is remarkable - from the intricate design on the desk to the carefully crafted words on paper before him. It is evident that Goethe was deeply immersed in his work, surrounded by books and manuscripts that speak to his prolific output as a writer.
As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a time when literature held a revered place in society and authors like Goethe were revered for their contributions to the cultural landscape. His presence is commanding yet approachable, embodying both wisdom and humility.
Through this lithograph by Johann Joseph Schmeller, we gain insight into the daily life of a literary genius whose influence continues to resonate today. It serves as a reminder of the power of words and the enduring legacy of those who dedicate their lives to the written word.
