About the piece
Painted in 1919 during his time in Davos, Switzerland, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s 'Cows at Sunset' captures the rugged beauty of the Alps through the lens of German Expressionism. The work employs a non-naturalistic palette of deep blues and vivid yellows, translating the physical landscape into a high-energy composition of form and color that remains a landmark of modern art.
