Nu feminino
1885
Lovis Corinth captures a raw, unidealized moment here, showing a woman from behind with her hand resting confidently on her hip against a deep, shadowy background. The visible, scratchy brushstrokes give her pale skin a sense of texture and life, avoiding the smooth, porcelain perfection typical of academic nudes. Although painted in 1885, this piece hints at the bold, expressive energy he would later champion, moving away from stiff traditions to something much more human and real.
