About the piece

Created in 1912, this work by German Expressionist Christian Rohlfs showcases his mastery of color and energetic brushwork. 'House with a Red Roof' is rendered with thick impasto, creating a rich tactile surface where the fiery red of the roof contrasts sharply with the deep lapis blue of the sky and the cool green of the shutters.
