EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century portrait captures the enigmatic charm of Charlotte Buff, the woman who inspired Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin and most famously, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, to pen some of their most enduring works. Born in Kesterling, Hesse, in 1753, Charlotte Buff, later known as Lotte in Goethe's novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther," lived during an era of profound cultural and intellectual transformation. At the tender age of 20, Charlotte was engaged to Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, a friend of Goethe's. However, Goethe, who was 23 at the time, became infatuated with her, a feeling that was mutual. Although Charlotte was already engaged, she and Goethe exchanged passionate letters, fueling the flames of his literary obsession. This clandestine love affair served as the foundation for Goethe's groundbreaking novel, "The Sorrows of Young Werther," published in 1774. Despite the tumultuous emotions stirred by their correspondence, Charlotte eventually married Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin in 1775. Goethe, heartbroken, left for a grand tour of Italy, where he would later write his seminal work, "Italian Journey." This evocative portrait, likely taken decades after the events that transpired between Charlotte and Goethe, offers a glimpse into the life of a woman whose influence extended far beyond her time. Her story continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, as a testament to the power of love and the enduring impact of literature.
