Collection: Lovis Corinth

A master of German Impressionism defined by raw, expressive vitality.

Lovis Corinth stands as one of the most formidable figures of the German avant-garde, bridging the transition between late nineteenth-century academic realism and the emotional intensity of Expressionism. Trained in the rigorous classical traditions of Munich and Paris, Corinth developed a style that honored anatomical precision while continuously pushing toward a more liberated, visceral execution.

His body of work is characterized by its extraordinary physical energy and psychological depth. Through thick, gestural brushwork and a rich, dramatic palette, Corinth captured the fleeting light of landscapes—most notably his late, luminous views of the Walchensee—alongside deeply intimate portraits and powerful mythological scenes. His canvases remain celebrated for their raw, tactile presence and profound emotional honesty.
