  1. Christian Daniel Rauch, A white marble bust of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by Christian Daniel Rauch, White marble. Inscribed on the back of the bust "C. D. RAUCH" and "GEB. MICHELI BERLIN". Christian Daniel Rauch created the model for his bust of Goethe on 20.-21.8.1820 in Weimar. Rauch's finished bust was ready to be shown at the Academy Exhibition in Berlin in September 1820 and received both enthusiastic praise as well as criticism for its lifelike naturalism. Probably the most well-known depiction of Goethe, this work still colours our image of the famous German poet to this day. Replicas of the so-called a-tempo bust were produced in marble since the mid-19th century by the Micheli brothers in the "Gipsformerei Großberlin", whereby they amended the originally rounded base of the bust to a more angular, Herm-like terminal
