EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an enchanting scene from Johann Wolfgang Goethe's renowned novel, "The Sorrows of Werther". The illustration, created by Tony Johannot in the 19th century, beautifully depicts a moment filled with love and longing. In the image, we see a young couple immersed in their own world of passion and emotion. They are surrounded by elements that symbolize romance - flowers adorn the room while music fills the air as the female figure plays a harpsichord. A child stands nearby, perhaps representing innocence or reminding us of the fleeting nature of love. The characters' expressions convey deep emotions - both joy and sorrow can be seen on their faces. It is evident that they are caught up in a whirlwind of intense feelings, just like Werther himself in Goethe's novel. "The Sorrows of Werther" is an epistolary novel published in 1774 during the Sturm und Drang movement. It tells the tragic tale of unrequited love and has become synonymous with romanticism. This powerful story has inspired various adaptations over time, including an opera composed by Jules Massenet. This mesmerizing engraving not only encapsulates key themes from Goethe's work but also serves as a timeless reminder of the complexities and intensity found within matters of the heart.
