Statue of an Amazon at the Alte Museum 1916

This 1916 lithograph by Lovis Corinth depicts a statue of an Amazon, a warrior woman from Greek mythology, riding a horse. Created during Corinth's later years, it showcases his signature expressive style. The artist uses bold, gestural strokes to capture the dynamic movement and dramatic pose of the sculpture, creating a sense of energy and tension. The simplified forms and dark shading contribute to the work's powerful and evocative nature. This lithograph is a testament to Corinth's fascination with classical themes and his ability to convey dynamism and emotion through his masterful handling of charcoal.
