"Illustration from The Sorrows of Werther by Tony Johannot" refers to a series of visual artworks created by French artist Antoine "Tony" Johannot (1803–1852) to accompany the text of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther" (originally "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers"). These illustrations are significant as they represent a fusion of Romantic literary and visual arts, and they contribute to the understanding and appreciation of Goethe's influential epistolary novel, first published in 1774.

Tony Johannot was known for his work as an illustrator and engraver, and his contributions to the illustration of literary works were highly regarded in the 19th century. His illustrations for "The Sorrows of Young Werther" capture the emotional depth and the Romantic spirit of the novel, which tells the story of Werther, a young artist of highly sensitive and passionate nature, who falls in love with Lotte, a woman engaged to another man. The novel is a seminal work of the Sturm und Drang movement in German literature and was one of the most popular and influential novels of its time.

Johannot's illustrations are characterized by their detailed and expressive style, which sought to visually convey the complex emotions and themes present in Goethe's text. The illustrations often focus on key moments in the narrative, highlighting the intense feelings of love, desire, and despair experienced by the protagonist. Through his art, Johannot contributed to the novel's legacy, providing readers with visual interpretations that complement and enhance the written word.

The collaboration of Tony Johannot's illustrations with Goethe's text exemplifies the 19th-century tradition of integrating visual art into literary publications, thereby offering a more immersive experience for the reader. Johannot's work on "The Sorrows of Young Werther" remains a notable example of book illustration from the Romantic era and continues to be studied by scholars interested in the interplay between text and image in the history of book design and illustration.
