Karoline: A Name Echoing Through the Ages - Karoline Michaels (1763-1809), a German writer and hostess, graced the 18th century as the wife of literary luminaries August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling. Her enchanting presence is captured in this line and stipple engraving. Fast forward to the 20th century, as we see German runner Lina Radke (1928) embodying the strength and determination of a modern-day Karoline. The opulent court of Christian VII of Denmark, depicted in this oil painting, could have been the setting for another chapter in Karoline's story. The soprano Karoline Hetzenecker (ca. 1848) transports us to the world of opera, where she captivates as Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito. In the spirit of turning the spotlight on others, Karoline takes the hand of an unknown woman (1907) and turns her to the audience, sharing the limelight. Unknown creators have captured the essence Stelzner (1933), Karoline Lengefeld, and Caroline Ziegler, keeping her legacy alive through their art. The German lady in this portrait from 1790 could very well be our Karoline, her timeless beauty and elegance transcending the test of time.
