The painter Lovis Corinth, born on July 21, 1858 as Franz Heinrich Louis Corinth in Tapiau in East Prussia, together with Max Liebermann and Max Slevogt is considered the main representative of German impressionism. Corinth, president of the artist group »Berliner Secession«, used a particularly powerful painting style. The excellent portraitist attached great importance to the representation of light and shadow. Corinth suffered a severe stroke in 1911, but continued his work. At Walchensee in Bavaria, many of the landscape paintings and flower still lifes that define his increasingly expressionistic - late work are the result. Lovis Corinth died in 1925 on a trip to Amsterdam. His oeuvre includes about a thousand paintings and a similar number of watercolors, drawings and graphics.
