Corinth (1858-1925) was a German artist instrumental in the Berlin Sezession group, eventually replacing Max Liebermann (1847-1935) as the group's leader. The artistic output at the beginning of his career is more naturalistic, but after Corinth suffered a stroke in 1911, his oeuvre reflects a more Expressionist treatment of subjects such as family, landscapes, historical and literary themes. One of his most prolific periods was between 1918-25, during which he completed a series of landscape drawings, watercolors, etchings and lithographs at his home on the Walchensee in the Bavarian Alps. These evocative, lively and occasionally haunting landscapes have become regarded as some of Corinth's finest work.
