EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait captures the intellectual and artistic brilliance of German dramatist and critic, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Dressed in a frilly, historical shirt with grey buttons, Lessing's refined and thoughtful expression is framed by a voluminous, circular wig. The intricate details of his shirt, with its delicate lace and meticulously arranged buttons, reflect the meticulousness and precision that Lessing brought to his groundbreaking work in literature and criticism. Born in 1729 in Kamenz, Saxony, Lessing is considered one of the most influential figures in German literature. He is best known for his plays, including "Emilia Galotti" and "Minna von Barnhelm," as well as his critical essays, which challenged traditional literary norms and paved the way for modern literary criticism. Lessing's impact on German literature and culture was significant, and his ideas continue to shape the way we understand and appreciate the literary and artistic achievements of the 18th century. This portrait, taken in 1781, offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of a man who was not only a master of the written word, but also a visionary thinker and a true pioneer in the world of letters. The portrait, which is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of history and preserve the memory of those who have shaped it. With its intricate details and timeless beauty, this image invites us to explore the rich history of German literature and the remarkable life of one of its most celebrated figures, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.
