EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Theory of Colours (Zur Farbenlehre)," was created by the renowned German polymath, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in 1810. Goethe, a prolific writer, scientist, and artist, is best known for his literary works such as "Faust" and "Faust Part II," but his scientific explorations, including his groundbreaking work on color theory, are equally noteworthy. The image is an allegorical representation of Goethe's theory of colors, which challenged the prevailing scientific understanding of the time. Goethe believed that colors were not derived from the interaction of light and objects, as Isaac Newton had proposed, but rather that they were inherent in the objects themselves. The print features a color circle, or Goethe's "color wheel," which is arranged in a spiral pattern, symbolizing the interconnectedness of colors. The circle is surrounded by figures representing various aspects of color, including personifications of primary colors and the four seasons. The etching and watercolor technique adds depth and texture to the image, making the colors appear rich and vibrant. Goethe's "Theory of Colours" was a significant contribution to the history of science, challenging established beliefs and paving the way for new discoveries. This print is a testament to Goethe's multifaceted genius and his enduring influence on art, literature, and science.
