Walchensee, aufgehender Mond
1922
Lovis Corinth captured the wild, moody beauty of Germany's Walchensee lake in this vibrant 1922 landscape, painted just a few years before his death. The thick, slashing brushstrokes make the water and mountains feel almost alive, vibrating with energy as the moon rises in the upper left corner. Corinth spent his summers at this Bavarian lake, and the view became his absolute obsession, resulting in over 60 paintings of the same spot before he passed away. It's a perfect example of how he blended the fleeting light of Impressionism with the raw, emotional punch of Expressionism.
