Original – Tischbein portrays Goethe as an idealized, almost otherworldly person, as a man of great insight. He wears a large wide-brimmed hat, fashionable among German artists in Rome, and a creamy white traveller's duster.

Reason

A famous and much inonic depiction, much disputed, significant and appreciated painting of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It is described in Goethe's work Italian Journey. It has acquired an important place in the history of art as a German icon of national painting. The painting had an indisputable role in shaping the world’s image of Goethe. The painting is considered as one of the highlights of the museum's collection.goethe-roman-campagna-1787/ staedelmuseum.de Used, Google file.
