Aprašymas

Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein's painting Goethe in the Roman Campagna has long been an icon. Epitomizing the German fascination with Italy, it has captivated audiences since it was first recognized in the 19th century and continues to shape our image of Goethe and his Italian journey to this day. This publication invites readers to rediscover what is arguably the most famous painting in the Städel Museum's collection. It sheds light on the painting's creation in Rome in 1786-87 and, drawing on the latest research in art technology, offers insights into Tischbein's creative process. A concise overview traces the history of the painting-from Tischbein's and Goethe's initial ideas for the work, through its provenance, to its extraordinary popularity. The focus also lies on the painting's particular significance for Goethe's birthplace, Frankfurt am Main, and for the Städel Museum, where it has been housed since 1887.
