Der Südenfall (The Fall of Man), 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Lovis Corinth captures the timeless biblical story of Adam and Eve in a striking print. This expressionist artwork, created during the early 20th century, showcases Corinth's mastery in conveying complex emotions through his unique artistic style. In this scene from the Book of Genesis, we witness Eve holding an apple while being tempted by a serpent wrapped around the Tree of Life. The artist skillfully portrays the moment when temptation takes hold, leading to humanity's original sin and subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Corinth's use of color woodcut monotype adds depth and texture to this iconic image. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the vulnerability and strength present in these biblical characters. Through their facial expressions and body language, we can sense their inner turmoil as they grapple with moral choices that will forever shape human history. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork stands as a testament to Corinth's contribution to German Expressionism. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion, exploring profound concepts such as temptation, free will, and our eternal quest for redemption. As viewers engage with "Der Südenfall" they are invited into a contemplative space where ancient stories come alive through brushstrokes or prints like these - connecting us across time to our shared heritage.
