Est: €150 - €200
Friedrich Johann Kauke (around 1754 - 1777 ibid.): Portrait of J W Gleim (1719-1803), 1759, Copper engraving Technique: Copper engraving on Paper Inscription: Lower middle signed in the printing plate: "FKauke sc.". Lower middle dated: "1759.". Date: 1759 Description: The sitter founded the 'Halberstadt Poets' Circle', an association of young literary figures, and was in lively correspondence with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Friedrich Wilhelm Gleim introduced Anacreontic poetry - in reference to the ancient poet Anacreon - into German literature, which was to leave a lasting mark on it. The antiqueising oval stone frame in which his countenance is depicted is probably not only to be understood as an 18th-century fashion, but represents the connection of his poetry, which was oriented towards antiquity, to the literature of the mid-18th century. Person: Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719 - 1803 ) Poet and important representative of the cult of friendship in the Enlightenment. Keywords: 18th century, Classicism, Portraits, Germany,
