The March of the Weavers in Berlin 1897

"The March of the Weavers in Berlin" is a powerful lithograph by German artist Käthe Kollwitz, created in 1897. The artwork depicts a procession of weavers, their faces etched with hardship and determination, as they march through the streets of Berlin. Kollwitz's dramatic use of line and shadow emphasizes the bleak reality of working-class life in late 19th-century Germany. The image is a testament to the artist's commitment to social realism and her desire to draw attention to the plight of the working poor. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by workers during the Industrial Revolution and their struggles for a better life.
