When the French sculptor David d’Angers travelled through Germany in 1834 to model important figures, the portrait sitting with the poet Ludwig Tieck, accompanied by his daughter Dorothea, took place in the Dresden studio of the painter Vogel von Vogelstein. He used the opportunity to record the scene in painting. Sculpture, painting, and literature are ingeniously intertwined in this space. Hanging above the door like a tutelary saint is the portrait of Raphael, the idol of the Romantics, who is also present in Tieck’s literary work.
