Summary: | The Kupferstichkabinett owns one of the largest collections of the artist's drawings. In 1865, coming directly form the artist's remains, they were almost completely integrated into the collections. A selection of the sheets is now on display at the Casa di Goethe. The range spans from Koch's early Swiss nature studies to his generously conceived cycles of illustrations for cornerstones of European literature (Dante's Divine Comedy, Macpherson's The Works of Ossian, and Tragedies by Aeschylus), from mythological and Christian subjects to his late nature studies made in the surroundings of Rome. Exhibition: Kupferstichkabinett der Akademie der bildenden Künste, Wien (2011); Casa di Goethe, Rome (2011).
