Vista do estúdio de Munique by Lovis Corinth, 1881

Imagine looking out a studio window on a gloomy day in Munich. Instead of a polished postcard view, Lovis Corinth gives us a raw, patchwork landscape of garden plots stretching toward a hazy skyline. You can spot the distinctive onion domes of the city's churches in the distance, competing with factory smoke stacks—a visual tug-of-war between old tradition and new industry. The thick, slashing brushstrokes make the scene feel restless and alive, hinting at the Expressionist style Corinth would soon help pioneer.
