Description
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856), a German poet, journalist, essayist, and literary critic, is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert.
Heine’s works explore his own deeply divided consciousness; because of this he is regarded as an important precursor of 20th-century literary modernism. In Die Bäder von Lucca; The Baths of Lucca (1830), Chapter 4, Heine explains that because the modern world is divided and disunited, modern poetry must lack unity as well, any sense of organic harmony would be false.
The portrait is recreated based on a profile of Heine painted by some unknown artist more than a century ago.
