Tizians „Himmlische und irdische Liebe“ c. 1852 - 1853

Eugen Eduard Schäffer's "Heavenly and Earthly Love" is a detailed pencil drawing, created between 1852 and 1853, now housed in the Städel Museum. The artwork depicts two figures in a lush landscape setting, one clothed and one nude. The composition suggests a contrast between the spiritual and the physical realms. The precise rendering of the figures and the surrounding foliage showcases Schäffer's meticulous technique. This artwork is a prime example of the artistic style popular in the mid-19th century, demonstrating the Romantic era’s interest in the interplay between the idealized and the real.
