Summary: Goethe’s ideas on colour and imagery crossed many borderlines: those of artistic processes and philosophical aesthetics, art history and colour theory, together with the science of perception. This investigation into his writings ranges across art from Antiquity, the Renaissance and the eighteenth century, as well as exploring the centrality of these issues to Goethe’s literary work. Questions find answers, but also raise new questions. This systematic sequence of essays, originally written between 1999 and 2012, appeals to readers in all these separate areas, while drawing together their essential coherence.

Includes Goethe's Green - The 'Mixed' Boundary Colours in Zur Farbenlehre ; 'Harmonspiel der Farben' - Goethe, Meyer and Pietro da Cortona ; Classical Colour Harmony - Goethe and Heinrich Meyer on Jacques Louis David and his Pupil Gottlieb Schick, an 'emporstrebenden jungen Maler' in Rome ; An Alternative Antiquity ?- Ornament in Goethe, Meyer and Giulio Romano ; etc. (Germanic Literatures, 3)
