Still life with a chalice and a plate
1901
Lovis Corinth captures a quiet, somewhat messy moment after a meal with this bold still life. A deep green goblet sits heavily on a white tablecloth, its form rendered with thick, energetic brushstrokes that look almost slashed onto the surface. In the foreground, a plate holds the remnants of a meal—crusts of bread and crumbs—suggesting a story of consumption just finished. Painted in 1901, this piece shows Corinth moving away from strict realism toward the emotional intensity of Expressionism, where the raw feeling of the object matters more than perfect details.
