Mein Vertrauen zu dir hat mein Herz gebrochen

Ich male neue Bilder – und greife doch immer wieder zu denselben dunklen Farben.

i just want to make art

Lavender Dreams (Explore) by Lady Sunshine Via Flickr: Due to the increasing drought, lavender fields are also conquering the Winequarter more and more..! Lower Austria, Austria. Thanks a lot for visiting, favs and comments !

hello! i wanted to ask you if you know something about these portraits. i suppose they are from one author, there's a lot of similarities in the style + they literally look paired!! i really want to know who's the genius that made this and if there is some kinda story behind it

Well i think this has to be filed under 19th century fanart, i.e. these portraits aren't contemporary. They also look very idealised and do not really resemble neither Goethe nor Schiller (except for characteristic features like Schiller's blond hair (that was actually ginger) and his open collar).

These portraits were used a lot for postcards and you'll find endless versions/copies of them:

The original artist might be Karl Jäger (1833-1857), although I'm not sure. It just was kind of his thing to paint or draw "famous men". It's very hard to tell though what version of these portraits is the original because there are so many of them. Jäger's wikipedia says that he did a lot of "grisailles" (grey paintings) so I think that maybe the two matching postcards above, the ones that have Jäger's name on them, might be the "originals" (here the print version).

The only (to my knowledge) contemporary painter who painted both is Gerhard von Kügelgen (1772-1820). However, even he painted his Schiller portrait after Schiller's death (1809) and used the 1794 bust by Dannecker and Schiller's death mask for reference.
