Mountain Lake (Walchensee in Winter)
1919
Lovis Corinth created this scratchy, energetic winter scene of Lake Walchen (Walchensee) in 1919, late in his life after moving to the Bavarian Alps. The artist's signature loose, almost frantic style bridges Impressionism and Expressionism, turning a quiet snowy landscape into a flurry of movement with those rapid, diagonal hatching lines. You can spot the edition number '11/25' in the bottom left corner and his signature on the right, meaning this is one of only 25 prints made from this specific plate, offering a rare glimpse into his snowy retreat.
