Crocifissione
1921-1922
Lovis Corinth tackles one of art's heaviest subjects with a raw, scratchy energy that feels almost frantic. Created in the early 1920s, this Expressionist take on the Crucifixion ditches the serene holiness of older paintings for something much more visceral. You can see the central figure stretched out under the 'INRI' sign, flanked by two dark, grieving figures and a skull at the base—classic Golgotha imagery. The lines are so aggressive and chaotic they look like they were scratched into the plate in a fever dream, reflecting Corinth's own turbulent life and health struggles near the end of his career.
