EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the renowned German poet and playwright, Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, affectionately known as Schiller, during a leisurely moment at Carlsbad around the years 1759 to 1805. Schiller, who is celebrated for his significant contributions to German literature, is shown here in a casual and approachable manner, riding a donkey while enjoying a pipe. Carlsbad, a popular spa town in Bohemia, was a favorite destination for many European intellectuals during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Schiller, who suffered from various health issues, sought refuge in the mineral waters of Carlsbad to improve his well-being. This photograph captures a moment of relaxation and reflection for the literary genius, as he takes in the scenic beauty of the town while on his donkey. Schiller's literary works, which include both poetry and plays, were instrumental in shaping German literature and influencing the German national identity. His most famous works, such as "The Robbers," "Don Carlos," and "Wallenstein," are still widely read and performed today. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the personal life of one of Germany's most revered literary figures. Schiller's image, riding a donkey at Carlsbad while smoking a pipe, serves as a reminder of the human side of a man whose works continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
