Sul dipinto
Con le parole del museo — in tedesco
Den Sommer 1913 verbringt die Familie Corinth in Sankt Ulrich im Grödner Tal im heutigen Südtirol. Prägend für diese Region ist die eindrucksvolle Bergwelt der Dolomiten. Doch zeigt der Maler davon nur einen markant abfallenden Felsen im Hintergrund. Er konzentriert sich auf den sonnenbeschienenen lehmigen Wanderweg vorn im Bild. Dieser Bereich fällt durch den offenen, wild gesetzten Pinselstrich auf. Folgt man dem Pfad über eine kleine, massiv gebaute Holzbrücke in den Wald, lädt in Sichtweite eine rote Bank zur Rast ein. Von hier aus kann ungestört dem leisen Plätschern des Wassers und dem Wind in den Baumkronen gelauscht werden. Das Spiel von Licht und Schatten und der dynamische Pinselstrich prägen die Corinth’sche „Empfindungsmalerei“.

Nella vita di Lovis Corinth
Tutta la vita1911
Elected Head of the Berlin Secession
After the resignation of president Max Liebermann and the members of the board, Lovis Corinth was elected the association's new head.
1911
Stroke and Partial Paralysis
Corinth suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed on one side; with his wife's help he began painting with his right hand again within a year, and his style took on Expressionist qualities.
1913
Major Retrospective at Cassirer's
As an act of reconciliation, Paul Cassirer organized a major retrospective of 228 of Corinth's oil paintings, opened by Max Liebermann; the same year the first monograph on the artist, by Georg Biermann, was published.
1913
Remained in the Free Secession
After accusations against Cassirer, 42 artists left the Berlin Secession, including Liebermann and the entire board; Corinth remained in the association, which took the name Free Secession, where he was the only artist of international renown.
1914
A Journey Cut Short by the First World War
He toured Monte Carlo and Rome, where he was especially drawn to Raphael's frescoes in the Vatican; at St. Moritz the journey was cut short by the outbreak of the First World War, whose beginning Corinth welcomed.
1915
Re-elected Chairman of the Secession
He was again elected chairman of the Berlin Secession and remained the association's president until 1925.
