Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, and critic. His works include plays, poetry, literature and aesthetic criticism, and treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour. He is considered to be the greatest German literary figure of the modern era Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), dramatist, and scientist, studied art and music while working as a newspaper critic. In 1776, he was appointed privy council to the duke of Saxe-Weimar and was ennobled in 1782. While pursuing his studies in science, he discovered the intermaxillary bone in man in 1784 and formulated a vertebral theory of the skull. Between 1786 and 1790 he became preoccupied with poetical form. Goethe’s masterpiece, his version of Marlowe’s “Faust,” which he began in 1775, was completed in 1832. A towering influence on German literature, he died in 1832 in Weimar.
The minter’s name (“Verlag Rob Ball Nchf Berlin”) - Robert Ball, Berlin - appears along the edge below the edge on the reverse side. Undated. (the firm of Robert Ball minted medals both in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries).
