Lovis Corinth, (born July 21, 1858, Tapiau, East Prussia [now Gvardeysk, Russia]—died July 12, 1925, Zandvoort, Netherlands),
German painter is known for his dramatic figurative and landscape paintings. Although Corinth made etchings, woodcuts, and lithographs, his rich, virile drypoints are his best work.
Corinth underwent a lengthy period of academic artistic training.
Corinth’s mature work frequently involved dramatic treatments of religious, mythological, and historical subjects, rendered with loose brushwork and strong colours that have often been described as Expressionist.
In 1911 Corinth suffered a stroke which left him partially paralyzed. Subsequently, his brushwork became more vigorous, and the work was done after 1911 is often considered his best.
Though best known for his landscapes of the Walchensee area of Bavaria and for his portraits, Corinth also painted religious scenes, often violent ones such as the Golgotha altarpiece (1909–11). He also made etchings and lithographs, such as Apocalypse (1921), that, more so than his paintings, reveal his capacity for Expressionist power.
Lovis Corinth represents a transition from 19th-century naturalism to the Expressionist movement.
