About the piece

Painted in 1912 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, this work captures the town of Burg on the island of Fehmarn with the raw intensity characteristic of the Die Brücke movement. The composition utilizes a striking palette of fiery reds and deep greens to create a sense of vibrating energy, transforming a quiet townscape into a dynamic arrangement of geometric forms and expressive brushwork.
