About the workIn 1855, the writer and archivist Alexander Kaufmann published the luxury volume “Kunst und Literatur” (Art and Literature), which featured contributions by famous contemporary artists and poets. Caspar Scheuren designed the title page, which alludes to the union of the arts. The central image shows a laurel-wreathed poet in a park landscape. The four corner medallions depict allegorical figures from art, literature, poetry and music. The arabesques contain portraits of famous painters.
