Christ en croix
1919
You can almost feel the physical struggle in every jagged line of this intense Crucifixion scene. Lovis Corinth suffered a severe stroke in 1911 that paralyzed his right hand, and his subsequent work shifted from polished realism to this wild, trembling Expressionism. Created in 1919 amidst the aftermath of World War I, this isn't a serene savior; it's a dark, brooding figure emerging from chaotic shadows, perfectly capturing the trauma of a broken world with stark, high-contrast drama.
