1761 1819 Dramatist Ferdinand Friedrich Holl Kotzebue Lace Oval
EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval print showcases the distinguished visage of August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue, a renowned German dramatist whose works left an indelible mark on European theater history. Born in 1761, Kotzebue's prolific career spanned over five decades, during which he produced over 100 plays, many of which were translated into multiple languages and performed across Europe. The image captures Kotzebue in the prime of his life, with a thoughtful expression and piercing gaze that speaks to his intellectual prowess. His white collar, adorned with delicate lace, adds an air of refinement to his attire, while his grey hair frames a face that bears the lines of wisdom and experience. The historical significance of this photograph is palpable, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who shaped the literary landscape of his time. Kotzebue's plays were known for their innovative use of dialogue and character development, as well as their exploration of contemporary social issues. Some of his most famous works include "The Stranger," "The Marquise of O," and "Misanthropy and Repentance." His influence extended beyond the stage, as his plays were also adapted into operas and ballets. Despite his many accomplishments, Kotzebue's life was not without controversy. In 1819, he was assassinated by a disgruntled fan in a case that sparked a national debate about freedom of speech and artistic expression. Today, Kotzebue is remembered as a pioneering figure in German literature and theater, whose works continue to be performed and studied around the world.
