Goethe in Rome – Studying with music: Philosophical Cafe of the Stifter

In September 1786, Goethe left Karlsbad. It was an escape, and simply two months later, the poet referred to as his mates and introduced the place he was: Rome. Goethe stayed away for nearly two years and skilled a rebirth as a person and an artist in Rome, as his “Iphigenia”, “Tasso” and his “Roman Elegies” give superb testimony. The Stuttgart Lapidarium with its Apollo from Belvedere and the

The Orpheus mosaic is the best place to deliver Goethe’s rebirth to life, because the lapidarium was initially designed as a “Roman backyard”.
