"Goethe in the Roman Campagna" is an iconic 1786 oil painting by German painter Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, which depicts the renowned German writer and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe during his travels in Italy. The painting is celebrated for its portrayal of Goethe as the quintessential enlightened traveler and is one of the most famous images of the writer. It is a key example of portraiture from the period of German Classicism and reflects the aesthetic and philosophical ideals of the time.

In the painting, Goethe is shown in a relaxed pose, reclining against a rock in the Roman countryside with the Campagna landscape stretching out behind him. He is dressed in the simple, classical clothing that was fashionable among intellectuals of the period, which also reflects the influence of the ancient world on the culture of the time. The landscape, with its ruins and the distant silhouette of the city of Rome, evokes the grandeur of antiquity and the importance of Italy as a destination for the cultural pilgrimage of artists and writers of the 18th century, known as the Grand Tour.

Tischbein's composition and the serene atmosphere of the painting emphasize the contemplative nature of Goethe's journey and his engagement with the classical past. The work is a testament to the friendship between the artist and the writer, as Tischbein hosted Goethe in Rome and the two shared an interest in the arts and antiquity. "Goethe in the Roman Campagna" is not only a personal memento of their time together but also a visual representation of the ideals of Weimar Classicism, of which Goethe was a central figure.

The painting is held in high esteem for its historical significance and its contribution to the visual legacy of Goethe. It is housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and cultural implications during the period of the Enlightenment and beyond.
