1724 1803 Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock Oval Shirt Juel Nutter
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative oval print, three prominent figures of the German literary scene come together in a thought-provoking tableau. At the center stands Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803), the renowned German poet and playwright, known for his influential work "Messias" and his advocacy of a German national literature. To Klopstock's right, with a serious expression, is Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843), a young poet and friend of Klopstock, who would later become a significant figure in the Romantic movement. On the left, with a quill in hand and a contemplative gaze, is Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne (1731-1798), also known as Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne der Ältere or simply Nutter, a poet and critic who was a mentor to both Klopstock and Hölderlin. The trio is depicted in a side view, with Klopstock wearing a white shirt and a voluminous wig, while Nutter sports a more modest attire. The background is adorned with books and other literary paraphernalia, emphasizing the scholarly and creative nature of the scene. This print, likely produced in the late 18th or early 19th century, offers a glimpse into the intellectual milieu of German literature during a pivotal period in its history. The image of these three literary luminaries, gathered in conversation and contemplation, speaks to the richness and depth of the German literary tradition and the enduring influence of its pioneers.
