Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s drama Faust ranks among the key works of world literature, and its representation in the fine arts also constitutes an important chapter in the history of 19th-century art. Illustrations for Faust were created both by artists whose fame has endured to this day and by those who have fallen into oblivion – Peter von Cornelius, Moritz Retzsch, Eugène Delacroix, Engelbert Seibertz, Gabriel von Max and others. The cabinet will present selected illustrations from the Collection of Prints and Drawings of the NGP in two variations.
