About the Item
German Romantic Theatre Engravings, Dramatic Scenes, Minerva Taschenbuch 1813
This engraved sheet originates from the 1813 German Taschenbuch Minerva and presents a sequence of dramatic theatrical scenes arranged as a unified composition. The imagery reflects the Romantic fascination with drama, emotion, and moral tension, themes that dominated German literature and stage culture in the early 19th century.
The figures are rendered with strong gestures and expressive facial detail, emphasizing conflict and psychological intensity rather than strict realism. These sheets were intended to complement contemporary literary texts and were appreciated both as illustrations and as independent graphic works.
Issued as part of a refined literary annual, the engravings were designed for an educated audience and produced by professional copper engravers working in the German Romantic tradition. The sheet remains complete, retaining its original narrative structure.
