Large showcase figure for the 250th anniversary of the Faust epic by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
"Blood is a very
special juice."
The showcase figure from tin "Blood Pact" is published on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Goethe's engagement with the epic Faust. It shows the most famous German poet with his two poetic creatures, Doctor Faust and the diabolical Mephistopheles. Goethe looks mockingly up at the sky. In the prologue of the tragedy, he also had the "gentleman up there" make a bet with the devil. Doctor Faust sells his soul and signs the pact with the devil with his blood. Now the tragedy can take its course.
The publication of the figure is a joint project of Kilia Tin figures and bellazinnfigur in cooperation with the Erlebnismuseum Weimarhaus.
The group of figures in the miniature painting by old master Werner Otto and the background painting of Faust's study included in the set.
Faust and Mephistopheles in the study. At Mephistopheles' request, Doctor Faust signs the pact with his blood. Xylograph by Franz Xaver Simm from 1899.
250 years ago in 1773, at the age of 24, Goethe wrote down his first thoughts on the Faust drama. Throughout his life, for almost six decades, he was preoccupied with the subject. Shortly before his death in 1832, he opened the already sealed poem and again changed important passages. The epic Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is considered one of the most important works of German-language literature. Goethe took up the story of the historical Doctor Faustus and expanded the tragedy into a parable of humanity in twelve thousand verses. At the beginning of the first part of the tragedy, God and the Devil are betting for Faust's soul.
The 10 cm high original figure masterfully engraved by Werner Otto.
The drawing by Leipzig illustration artist Sascha Lunyakov served as a template for the engraving of the Tin figure.
The figurine painted in museum style by Marbod Gerstenhauer can be purchased in the store. Each figure was individually painted by the Weimar pewter figure publisher.
The postcards belong respectively to the set with the unpainted figure and with the figure in museum miniature painting.
