EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Theory of Colours (Zur Farbenlehre)," is a visual masterpiece created by the renowned German polymath, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in 1810. Goethe, best known for his literary works, delved into the scientific realm with his exploration of color theory. This intricate artwork is a testament to his groundbreaking discoveries and the interconnectedness of art and science during the Romantic era. The image is an allegory of Goethe's color theory, which challenged the prevailing Newtonian theory of color perception. Goethe believed that primary colors were not red, blue, and yellow, but rather, red, yellow, and blue were secondary colors derived from the primary colors of black, white, and the "true" primary colors of red-violet, yellow-green, and blue-green. The circular design of the print, featuring a color wheel and a series of etchings and watercolors, represents the cyclical nature of color and the interplay between light and dark. The mythological figures depicted in the print, including Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, and the Graces, symbolize the harmonious balance and interconnectedness of the natural world and the artistic expression of color. This etching and watercolor work is a significant contribution to the history of science and the graphic arts. Goethe's "Theory of Colours" challenged established scientific beliefs and paved the way for a more holistic understanding of color perception. Today, this private collection piece remains a fascinating exploration of the interplay between art, science, and mythology.
