"Illustration from The Sorrows of Werther by Johann Wolfgang Goethe 1749-1832" is a notable work by the French artist Jean-Michel Moreau, also known as Moreau le Jeune (1741–1814). This illustration is part of a series of artworks created to accompany the publication of Goethe's seminal novel, "The Sorrows of Young Werther" (German: "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers"), first published in 1774. The novel, an important work of the Sturm und Drang period in German literature, tells the story of a young artist named Werther who falls hopelessly in love with a woman named Lotte, who is engaged to another man. The intense emotional content and themes of unrequited love and despair resonated with readers across Europe, influencing the Romantic movement and making the novel a cultural phenomenon.

Jean-Michel Moreau, renowned for his detailed and expressive engravings, captured the emotional depth and aesthetic of Goethe's narrative through his illustrations. His work on "The Sorrows of Young Werther" is characterized by its fine lines, attention to detail, and ability to convey the novel's mood and the psychological state of its characters. The illustrations not only served to visually narrate the story but also to enhance the reader's experience of the text, reflecting the emotional turmoil and the societal constraints of the time.

Moreau's illustrations for Goethe's novel are considered significant contributions to the visual interpretation of literary works in the 18th century. They exemplify the synergy between text and image in book design during the period and are valued for their historical and artistic merit. The illustrations are also a testament to the cross-cultural influence of literature, as they represent a French artist's interpretation of a German text, which in turn had a wide-reaching impact on European culture.

The specific illustration from "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Moreau is emblematic of the artist's style and the era's illustrative techniques. While the exact details of this particular illustration, such as its dimensions, medium, and the context of the scene depicted, would require further elaboration, it remains an important piece within Moreau's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century book illustration.
