"Mütter" (Mothers) is a painting by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz, created sometime before his death in 1926. The painting depicts a group of women in a simplified, expressive style, with a central figure holding a baby. The women are positioned near a crucified figure of Christ, who is shown in a more stylized and flattened manner than the women. This juxtaposition of styles, and the subject of motherhood juxtaposed with the sacrifice of Christ, reflect the artist's interest in the intersection of faith and daily life, a theme he explored frequently in his work. The painting is an example of Expressionism, a style known for its emotional intensity and bold use of color, and is a powerful portrayal of the resilience and faith of the common people in times of hardship.
