Description
After Christian Daniel Rauch (1777-1857), Goethe, alabaster, 19th century, inscribed on the reverse 'Chr. Smoke, and monogrammed 'SP' (in ligature), height ca. 53 cm
The life-size bust is based on the famous Goethe Portrait Rauch created in 1820/21, which is known in handwritten versions (including at the Museum of Fine Arts in Leipzig) and numerous replicas. He created the model for the Goethe portrait in 1820 during a visit to the poet, at whose request Rauch sculpted a model of his face. From Goethe himself, Rauch's work was met with great goodwill. Rauch's Goethe Portrait was based on ancient models and created a unique portrait of the 70-year-old poet.
Christian Daniel Rauch was a student of Johann Gottfried Schadow, the most important representative of German classicism and the founder of the Berlin School of Sculpture.
