Elbe Landscape Near Dresden 1909

"Elbe Landscape Near Dresden" (1909) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a vibrant expressionistic work that captures the essence of a landscape with bold, sweeping strokes. Kirchner's use of color and form emphasizes the energy of the scene, with simplified figures and expressive lines that suggest movement and depth. The image shows a river scene with a boat in the foreground and hills in the background, characteristic of Kirchner's work during this period, which focused on landscapes and urban life in Germany.
