About the piece

Painted in 1916, this vibrant work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captures the Taunus landscape through the lens of German Expressionism. The jagged, energetic brushwork and unconventional palette of pinks and deep greens create a dynamic sense of movement and psychological depth characteristic of Kirchner's wartime period.
