EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the timeless essence of German literary history with its depiction of the joint statue of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller, located in the beautiful city of Weimar, Germany. Dated back to November 1858, this historical image showcases the two renowned writers who significantly influenced German literature and thought during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Goethe, born on August 28, 1749, is seen on the left side of the statue, wearing a flowing robe and a thoughtful expression. He is considered one of the most important figures in German literature, known for his works such as "Faust," "The Sorrows of Young Werther," and "Elective Affinities." On the right side of the statue stands Friedrich Schiller, born on November 10, 1759. He is depicted wearing a toga and holding a quill pen, symbolizing his dedication to writing. Schiller is celebrated for his plays, including "Don Carlos," "Mary Stuart," and "The Robbers," as well as his poems and essays. The statue, which was created by the German sculptor Ernst Rietschel, stands as a testament to the profound impact these two literary giants had on German culture. The image captures the essence of their enduring friendship and shared artistic vision, making it a must-have for anyone interested in German literature, history, or art. This engraving, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, is a stunning addition to any collection. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when two brilliant minds shaped the course of German literature and left an indelible mark on the world.
