EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a scene from the famous play "Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The image depicts the apparition of the Brocken, a mountain in the Harz Mountains of Germany, where Faust encounters supernatural beings. The misty and foggy atmosphere adds an eerie and mysterious ambiance to the scene, perfectly reflecting the dramatic nature of this moment in literature. The protagonist, Faust, is seen ascending towards heaven while surrounded by despair and soul-searching. This visual representation beautifully portrays his internal struggle as he seeks redemption. In this particular adaptation of "Faust" composed by Charles Gounod in the 19th century, we witness Marguerite (also known as Gretchen) playing a significant role. She is shown as a female musician passionately playing her instrument amidst this otherworldly vision. The print not only showcases artistic excellence but also highlights elements of German culture and history. It serves as an educational card that provides insight into both literature and meteorology since it features one of Germany's most renowned mountains known for its unique weather patterns. Overall, this chromolitho print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of "Faust" while celebrating great composers like Gounod and their contributions to music. Its intricate details make it an intriguing piece that sparks curiosity about German folklore, drama, and scientific methods used in meteorology during that era.
