1920
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Der Walchensee (The Walchensee) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a dark, jagged landscape with sharp lines. A lake sits in the middle, surrounded by rough hills and trees. The sky is full of quick, scribbly strokes, almost like wind. In the foreground, bare branches stretch across the scene. The artist used a drypoint tool to scratch into the paper, leaving deep black marks. This method creates a rough, textured look—like the landscape itself. Look up technique: drypoint next to see how this process works.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
