Lovis Corinth, also known as Lovis Corinth-Herold, was a German artist active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born on July 21, 1858, in Tapiau, East Prussia (now Gvardeysk, Russia), and died on July 17, 1925, in Zandvoort, Netherlands.
Corinth was associated with several art movements throughout his career, including Realism, Impressionism, and Expressionism. He is particularly known for his portraits, landscapes, and historical paintings. Corinth's work often demonstrated a bold, vigorous brushwork coupled with a rich and vibrant color palette.
His early style was influenced by the Old Masters, particularly Rembrandt, with whom Corinth shared a fascination for chiaroscuro effects. However, as his career progressed, Corinth increasingly embraced the modern trends of the time, incorporating looser brushwork and brighter colors into his works.
Corinth played a significant role in the development of the Berlin Secession, a group of artists who sought to challenge the traditional academic standards of the Berlin Academy. He served as the president of the Berlin Secession from 1911 to 1924.
Despite suffering from various health issues throughout his life, including a stroke which left him partially paralyzed, Corinth continued to produce art until his death. His unique artistic style and contribution to the art world make Lovis Corinth a notable figure in the history of German expressionism and European art as a whole.
