EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Eugene Delacroix's masterpiece, "Death of Goetz von Berlichingen" created in 1845. This engraving transports us to the romantic era, depicting a dramatic scene from the 16th century. In this composition, four people gather around the seated figure of Goetz von Berlichingen, an iconic German knight and legendary hero. Delacroix skillfully portrays the emotions of mourning and grief through his use of light and shadow. The old men and women surrounding Goetz weep openly, their faces filled with sorrow. A sense of heroism emanates from Goetz himself as he sits stoically in his chair despite his impending death. This artwork pays homage to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play about Goetz von Berlichingen's life, which inspired Delacroix's creation. Through intricate details and meticulous wood engravings, Delacroix brings this medieval tale to life once more. As we contemplate this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history where honor clashes with mortality. Delacroix's portrayal reminds us that even heroes face their own demise but leave behind a legacy worth remembering. This print serves as a testament to Eugene Delacroix's artistic genius while immortalizing both the legend of Goetz von Berlichingen and the spirit of Romanticism that defined an entire era.
