Summary "Italienische Reise — Band 2" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a travel narrative written in the late 18th century. This work chronicles Goethe's experiences and reflections during his second stay in Rome, providing an intimate glimpse into not only his personal journey but also the artistic and cultural landscape of Italy at the time. The opening of the book introduces Goethe's return to Rome in June 1787, providing insights into his emotional state and his appreciation for art and nature. He expresses nostalgia for the beauty of Naples and a strong desire to immerse himself in the artistic wonders of Rome, such as the papal tapestries and the natural scenery of Tivoli. The correspondence format used in the narrative reveals a thoughtful and introspective character, as he reflects on his studies, artistic endeavors, and interactions with fellow artists, particularly highlighting his rapport with the landscape artist Hackert. This initial portion sets the tone for a rich exploration of art, culture, and personal development, inviting readers to join Goethe on his quest for knowledge and aesthetic appreciation in Italy.
