Saint George 1916

Lovis Corinth's "Saint George" (1916) is a striking black-and-white etching that captures the power and determination of the legendary saint. The figure of Saint George is depicted in dynamic pose, with his sword raised high as he faces a fierce dragon. The artist uses expressive lines and bold contrasts to create a sense of movement and drama. Corinth's masterful use of chiaroscuro highlights the figure's muscularity and creates a powerful presence within the composition. This piece showcases the artist's distinctive style, characterized by bold strokes and a focus on expressive emotion.
