Philadelphia
1949
Philadelphia Museum of Art presented Goethe as a Print Lover: To Celebrate the Bicentennial of His Birth in 1949. The exhibition marked the bicentenary of Goethe’s birth through printmaking. The documented selection includes early European religious and narrative subjects. Exact surviving examples are Rembrandt van Rijn’s Faust (c. 1652; etching, drypoint and burin) and Albrecht Dürer’s Melencolia I (1514; engraving on laid paper). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
