Goethe Johann Wolfgang Von Bust 13" High Statue

A detailed marble bust of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, who was a famous German poet, novelist, playwright, courtier, and natural philosopher, one of the greatest figures in Western literature. In literature Goethe gained early fame with The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774), but his most famous work is the poetic drama in two parts, FAUST. Like the famous character of this poem, Goethe was interested in alchemy. He also made important discoveries in connection with plant and animal life, and evolved a non-Newtonian and unorthodox theory of the character of light and color, which has influenced such abstract painters as Kandinsky and Mondrian. The detailed bust is made of a bonded alabaster and comes on an genuine alabaster base, imported for Italy and sculpted by A. Giannelli.
