"Karfreitag" (Good Friday) is a 1943 painting by German artist Karl Wiener. The work depicts a solitary figure with an intense gaze, set against a dramatic landscape of swirling purple clouds. The painting's somber mood and symbolic imagery resonate with the title, suggesting a meditation on themes of faith, suffering, and the passage of time. Wiener's distinctive style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms, aligns with the Expressionist movement, emphasizing emotional expression over objective representation.
