Entierro
1921-1922
Lovis Corinth throws us right into the gritty reality of the Entombment with this frantic, scratchy scene. You can see the German word 'Grablegung' scrawled in the corner, anchoring the chaotic energy of the composition. This isn't a peaceful, holy burial; it looks like a heavy, physical struggle, with the body appearing almost weightless yet burdensome. Created late in his life around 1921, this piece shows how a stroke in 1911 completely transformed Corinth's style from polished realism to wild Expressionism. He stopped caring about perfect anatomy and started capturing raw, trembling emotion instead, making the sacred scene feel incredibly human.
