EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we witness the momentous first meeting between Faust and Mephistopheles. The print, titled "First Meeting between Faust and Mephistopheles: Why all this Noise?", beautifully captures the essence of Goethe's timeless masterpiece, "Faust". The image transports us to a dimly lit alchemist's study where two figures stand in stark contrast. On one side stands Faust, his face etched with curiosity and longing for knowledge beyond mortal comprehension. On the other side looms Mephistopheles, a mysterious figure exuding an aura of darkness. As our eyes wander through the scene, we are drawn to their expressions - Faust's mixture of apprehension and excitement mirrored by Mephistopheles' sly grin. It is as if their fates have intertwined in this very instant. Delacroix masterfully conveys the tension between these two characters through his use of light and shadow. The flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows on the walls while illuminating their faces with an otherworldly glow. This print not only captures a pivotal moment in literature but also showcases Delacroix's artistic prowess. His attention to detail brings each element to life - from the intricate interior design to the subtle nuances in facial expressions. "First Meeting between Faust and Mephistopheles: Why all this Noise?" is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation into Goethe's world of forbidden
