Die Totenklage 1921 - 1922

"Die Totenklage" (The Lament for the Dead) is a 1921-1922 etching by the German artist Lovis Corinth. The work depicts a group of figures in a somber and emotionally charged scene. Corinth's style is characterized by its expressive brushstrokes and bold use of color, which is particularly evident in the dark tones and dramatic chiaroscuro of this print. The subject matter of death and mourning is common in Corinth's work, and "Die Totenklage" is a powerful example of his ability to convey deep emotion through art. The print can be viewed at the Städel Museum.
