Romeinse bloemen
1914
Lovis Corinth painted this vibrant bouquet during a trip to Rome in 1914, just months before World War I erupted and changed everything. Notice the thick, energetic brushstrokes that make the bold red amaryllis and drooping white lilies look almost alive and trembling on the canvas. This piece perfectly captures his shift toward Expressionism, where raw emotion and vigorous texture took priority over realistic detail. It’s a beautiful, fleeting moment of floral beauty captured with the urgency of an artist sensing a rapidly changing world.
