Burial 1915

"Burial," painted in 1915 by German Expressionist artist Emil Nolde, depicts a scene of intense grief and sorrow. The figures, rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes, appear to be mourning a loved one. The central figure, with a prominent wound on their chest, is cradled by two others. The use of vivid colors, particularly the bright blues and reds, intensifies the emotional impact of the scene. Nolde's work often explored themes of faith, death, and the human condition, making "Burial" a powerful and poignant example of his style.
