EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Macte Imperator!, homage to the German writer, Goethe" transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by Fidus (Hugo Hoppener) in 1897 and published in Jugend magazine in 1900, this artwork pays tribute to the renowned German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In this image, we witness a powerful visual representation of Goethe's literary prowess. The poet stands tall, adorned with a laurel wreath upon his head and a regal crown symbolizing his elevated status as an emperor of words. Surrounding him are the muses, who gracefully bestow their inspiration upon him. "Macte Imperator!" is an exclamation that translates to "Hail to the Emperor!". It serves as both an accolade for Goethe's achievements and a call for others to recognize his greatness. This piece captures not only the essence of Goethe but also celebrates poetry itself as a noble art form deserving of admiration. Preserved within the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph print showcases Fidus' artistic talent and attention to detail. The intricate composition and delicate use of light create a mesmerizing ambiance that draws viewers into Goethe's world. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the lasting impact that great writers like Goethe have on our cultural heritage.
