The engraving, created in 1845 by Friedrich Eduard Eichens (1804-77), beautifully captures the essence of Novalis with his long hair cascading down his shoulders and an intense gaze that seems to penetrate one's soul. Novalis, born Friedrich Leopold, Freiherr von Hardenberg, is often referred to as "the prophet of Romanticism" as he played a pivotal role in shaping this artistic movement. His profound writings delved into themes such as love, nature, spirituality, and the human condition.

This image serves as a visual testament to Novalis' enduring legacy within literature and philosophy.
