EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, a renowned German writer and playwright. Created in 1922 by Wilhelm Schulz for Simplicissimus magazine, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Lessing's intellectual prowess and literary genius. Lessing, born in 1729 and passing away in 1781, was an influential figure during the Enlightenment era. His works encompassed various genres including drama, poetry, criticism, and philosophy. As one of Germany's most significant writers, he played a pivotal role in shaping German literature. In this illustration from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we see Lessing portrayed with great attention to detail. The artist skillfully conveys his intelligence through piercing eyes that seem to hold profound wisdom within them. The lines on his face tell stories of experience and contemplation. The composition exudes a sense of timelessness as it immortalizes Lessing's contribution to literature. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as an author whose words continue to inspire generations. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece without mentioning any commercial use but rather emphasizes its artistic significance. It allows us to appreciate not only the talent of Wilhelm Schulz but also the immense impact that Gotthold Ephraim Lessing had on German literature and beyond.
