| Research Abstract |
One of the typical German romantic iconography, the image of friendship represented by the "couples", is created upon the tradition of the image of dialectic relationship between vice and virtue, human being and god or live and death, rendered by theme such as "Heracles on the divided way" as "Amor and Psyche", adding a new signification of "reconciliation" or "mediation". It was made of the romantic "Zeitgeist" that tried to overcome the analytic spirit of the Enlightenment, try to recover the entire world which supposed to have existed before the Reformation.
