1773 1853 Angers Depicted Dorothea Johann Ludwig Proceedings Sculpted Watches Tieck
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time as the renowned German writer Johann Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853) is immortalized in sculpture by the skilled hands of French sculptor David d'Angers (1788-1856). The year is unknown, but the photograph offers a glimpse into the artistic process of the time. Tieck, dressed in the fashion of the early 19th century, sits with a focused expression as he engages in conversation with the artist. His wife, Dorothea Tieck (1760-1811), watches intently from the side, her gaze fixed on her husband and the sculptor. Tieck was a prominent figure in German literature, known for his contributions to the Romantic movement. He authored numerous works, including novels, plays, and fairy tales. His collaborations with the Brothers Grimm on their collection of German folktales further solidified his place in literary history. David d'Angers, a celebrated sculptor, was known for his portraits of famous individuals, including writers, politicians, and royalty. The artist's masterful touch is evident in this depiction of Tieck, as the intricacies of his face and the subtle details of his clothing are brought to life. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the world of 19th-century literature and art, allowing us to witness the creative process as it unfolds. The presence of Tieck's wife adds an intimate touch to the scene, emphasizing the importance of family and support in the lives of artists and writers. This image stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Tieck and d'Angers, and their lasting impact on German culture.
