9783775736183: Grand Tour: A Photographic Journey Through Goethe's Italy

Synopsis

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, an extended trip to Italy--“the land where the lemon trees blossom, the golden oranges glowing amid dark foliage,” as Goethe famously described it--was considered an indispensable part of a young gentleman’s education. On arduous coach journeys, these adventurous youths would travel to Florence, Venice, Rome and Naples, taking in the antiquities, the architecture and the landscape, receiving en route a practical education in Roman civilization. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe made his own odyssey south between 1786 and 1788. His Italian Journey vividly conveys the profound enthusiasm he experienced, but also captures insightful details of the well-organized, nascent Italian tourist industry. This large (13 by 19 inches), impressive volume features an array of Italian photographs from the nineteenth century, which depict the highlights of the Grand Tour in gelatin silver prints (some of which are gorgeously hand-colored). These historic images are interspersed with quotes from Goethe’s Italian Journey, and include poetical views of the wonders of Piazza San Marco, the Coliseum, a smoking Vesuvius and the fisherwomen of Capri.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar mit leichten Lagerspuren, , Sofortversand - 'Kennst du das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn, im dunkeln Laub die Goldorangen glühn ' Eine Reise nach Italien galt im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert als unverzichtbarer Bestandteil der Erziehung junger Männer aus gutem Hause. Beschwerliche Kutschfahrten führten sie nach Florenz, Venedig, Rom und Neapel. Künstler folgten ihnen bald, und so führte 1786 bis 1788 auch Johann Wolfgang von Goethe die Sehnsucht gen Süden. Goethes Italienische Reise vermittelt sehr lebendig seine tiefe Begeisterung, schildert aber auch einen bereits gut organisierten frühen Tourismus. Nur siebzig Jahre später hielten erste Fotografen Stationen der Grand Tour auf silberbeschichteten Platten fest. Carlo Naya (1816-1882) oder dem, wie Goethe, aus Frankfurt am Main stammenden Giorgio Sommer (1834 1914) gelangen ungemein poetische Ansichten von Markusplatz, Kolosseum, Rauch spuckendem Vesuv und schönen Fischerinnen auf Capri. Zeigen die träumerischen Bilder uns, was Goethe sah Der Band im XL-Format stellt Goethe-Zitate den entsprechenden Fotografien gegenüber. Seller Inventory # INF1000275805
