The article focuses on The Italian Journey (Italienische Reise) of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and its artistic accents or significations, focusing particularly on the comparison of the main traits and intentions of the poet’s drawings that he created in Italy, in an effort to screen observing faculties, with, on the other hand, his parallel literary landscapes. Such comparison permits to consider the transformation of descriptions into a verbal aestheticization of sight or the seen.
