About the piece

Created around 1918 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, this work is a quintessential example of German Expressionism. The composition uses the sharp, rhythmic lattice of a railway bridge to frame a Dresden street scene, where deep cobalt blues contrast sharply with the warm oranges of the architecture and figures below, capturing the modern energy of the early 20th-century city.
