Légende

Statue of Goethe, at Frankfort, 1844. 'This fine colossal statue of [German writer Johann Wolfgang von] Goethe, which was cast in bronze at the Royal Foundry of Munich, according to the model of [Ludwig von] Schwanthaler, was inaugurated with great ceremony...at Frankfort-on-the-Main, the illustrious poet's native place...Goethe is represented clad in a mantle, but having his hands free. He wears the simple costume of the present period. His right arm is resting on the trunk of an old tree, and in his left he holds a laurel crown. His eyes are turned towards heaven'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
