EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Goldsmith and his friends" transports us back to a literary gathering in the 19th century. The focal point of the image is Oliver Goldsmith, the renowned Irish novelist, playwright, and poet. Seated among a group of people, he exudes an air of intellectual charm and creativity. The scene captures the essence of socializing during that era, with men dressed in elegant fashions seated on chairs around a table adorned with books and writing materials. It's evident that this gathering was not just any ordinary party; it was a meeting of minds where poets, dramatists, novelists, and writers came together to exchange ideas and celebrate literature. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable - from the intricate engravings on furniture to the carefully crafted clothing worn by each individual. It serves as a window into both the physical surroundings and literary world of these esteemed authors. This particular print comes from Henry Coppee's book "The Classic and the Beautiful from the Literature of Three Thousand Years" published in 1897. Its digital cleaning has preserved its original beauty while allowing us to appreciate every nuance captured by German School artists. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how literature has always been intertwined with friendship, camaraderie, and shared creative endeavors throughout history.
