Genie (Künstler), from the series Vom Tode Zweiter Teil 1910

"Genie (Künstler)" is a 1910 etching by German artist Max Klinger, from his series *Vom Tode Zweiter Teil*. The print depicts three figures: a man and woman walking towards a distant shore, accompanied by a shadowy figure, perhaps a ghost, who watches them from behind a tree. The scene is likely inspired by German Romanticism and is characteristic of Klinger's highly symbolic style, often referencing themes of death and the afterlife. The stark black-and-white tones of the etching add to the drama and sense of mystery. This print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection in New York City.
