The Artist’s Father in his Sickbed 1888

Lovis Corinth’s 1888 painting, "The Artist's Father in His Sickbed," depicts the artist's father lying in bed while his wife sits beside him, knitting. The intimate and personal scene portrays the tender care and love that the wife provides, a poignant moment captured with realism and emotional depth. The painting, housed in the Städel Museum, is a testament to Corinth's ability to capture the human condition with sensitivity and empathy.
