Sertigtal in Autumn 1926

"Sertigtal in Autumn" is a 1926 painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938), depicting a picturesque Swiss landscape. This painting, like many of Kirchner's works, features bold colors, simplified forms, and a sense of emotional intensity. The vibrant hues of the autumn foliage and the dramatic mountains capture the artist's appreciation for the beauty of nature, while also reflecting the anxieties and tensions of the era. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and human presence to the scene, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
