ブランデンブルク門
Circa 1920
Lovis Corinth captures the iconic Brandenburg Gate not as a stiff monument, but as a living, breathing scene bursting with raw energy. Created around 1920, this sketchy view shows the famous quadriga chariot perched atop the columns while a large flag billows dramatically on the left, almost swallowing the architecture. The crowd below is a blur of motion, rendered in thick, dark strokes that give the scene a frantic, bustling atmosphere typical of German Expressionism. It feels less like a formal portrait of a landmark and more like a fleeting, chaotic memory of a busy Berlin day.
