Le Char de Vénus 2
1919
Lovis Corinth created this wild, chaotic scene titled 'The Chariot of Venus' in 1919, channeling the raw energy of late German Expressionism just a year before his death. At the center stands a nude Venus, looking surprisingly calm amidst a swirling crowd of satyrs, flying cherubs, and a massive tiger prowling at her feet. The sketchy, crayon-like lines and vibrant blues reveal how Corinth's style became rougher and more emotional after suffering a stroke in 1911. It's a mythological party that feels more like a fever dream than a classical Renaissance painting.
