Morning Sun 1910

"Morning Sun" (1910) by Lovis Corinth (1858-1925) is an expressive portrait of a woman in a white chemise, lying in bed. The painting captures the immediacy of the moment, with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors creating a sense of movement and light. Corinth's signature style, influenced by Impressionism and Symbolism, is evident in the spontaneous application of paint, which highlights the subject's features and the interplay of light and shadow. The woman's relaxed pose and gentle smile evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, while the soft light that illuminates her face suggests the beginning of a new day.
