Red Christ 1922

"Red Christ" is a 1922 painting by German Expressionist artist Lovis Corinth. The painting depicts a bloody and tortured Christ figure against a fiery red background, capturing the raw emotion and suffering of the crucifixion. Corinth's dramatic use of color and thick brushstrokes add to the intensity of the scene, reflecting the artist's own struggle with illness and mortality in his later years. The painting is a powerful example of Expressionism, a movement that sought to express inner feelings and experiences rather than objective reality.
