Lovis Corinth

1894

Ontvoering by Lovis Corinth, 1894

Lovis Corinth captures a moment of raw, physical struggle in this intense 1894 etching titled 'Entführung' (Abduction). A powerful, muscular figure strides forward carrying another person, their bodies intertwined against a dark, scratchy background that feels almost like a stormy night. You can see the artist's signature and the edition number '2/65' at the bottom, marking this as an early print from a limited series. Although created before the Expressionist movement fully exploded, this piece shows Corinth's signature gritty style—focusing on the raw energy of the human form rather than perfect beauty.
