The Goethe Family, (1912) - A Glimpse into the Lives of Literary Greatness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white silhouette print from 1912 offers a rare glimpse into the private world of one of Germany's most celebrated literary families - The Goethes. Cut with meticulous precision and mounted on a serene blue board, this artwork is part of the esteemed collection "One Hundred Silhouette Portraits" by Horace Hart at the University of Oxford Press. In this enchanting portrait, we see Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, renowned poet and playwright, seated in an elegant chair alongside his wife and their children. The family exudes warmth and unity as they are captured in profile against a backdrop that hints at their refined taste in furniture. The father's commanding presence is complemented by his wife's gracefulness while their son gazes curiously at his surroundings. Meanwhile, their daughter rests peacefully in her mother's arms, embodying innocence and tenderness. This image not only immortalizes the bond shared within this remarkable family but also provides insight into German society during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It serves as a testament to both fatherhood and motherhood as essential roles within society. As we admire this exquisite piece of artistry, let us reflect upon how these silhouettes encapsulate not just individual lives but also an entire era marked by intellectual brilliance. Through its simplicity yet profound depth, this print invites us to explore the legacy left behind by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe –
