_Popularite_ (Karikatur auf die vier Reformatoren Karlsruhes_ Dr. Frommel, Franz von Savigny, Pfarrer Künzer, Hofmaler Grund) 

Moritz von Schwind created _Popularität_ as a caricature of Karlsruhe's four reformers. The identities of those represented, including a doctor, jurist, pastor, and painter, are entwined with the cultural and political fabric of Karlsruhe. The artwork is a commentary on the shifting social dynamics in the nineteenth century. It reflects a period of significant change and religious reform, capturing the tensions between tradition and modernity. The artist subtly critiques the reformers' pursuit of public approval, exposing the ironies within their roles. Popularität serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between public figures and their audiences, inviting viewers to reflect on the dynamics of fame, influence, and the ever-evolving nature of identity within a community.
