EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the world premiere of Johann Wolfgang Goethe's play, "Iphigenie auf Tauris" which took place from 6 to 12 April 1779 at the Schlosstheater Weimar. The image showcases Goethe himself as Orest and Corona Schroter as Iphigenie, both renowned stage actors of their time. Painted by G. M. Kraus and engraved by Facius, this fine art piece beautifully depicts the couple in an intense scene on stage. Johann Wolfgang Goethe was not only a German poet but also a novelist, dramatist, and philosopher who left an indelible mark on literary arts during the late 18th century and early 19th century. This print serves as a testament to his immense talent and contribution to German literature. The historical significance of this image is further enhanced by its portrayal of theater culture during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the vibrant entertainment scene of late nineteenth-century Germany, showcasing the importance placed on dramatic performances and storytelling. As we admire this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of Goethe's lasting legacy as one of Germany's most celebrated authors. His works continue to inspire readers around the world with their profound insights into human nature and society.
