Lovis Corinth — Chambri and Charmi visiting Judith; Bagoa and the Generals before the Corpse of Holofernes; and The Battle of the Jews, plate 10, 19 and 20 from The Book of Judith
Lovis Corinth

Chambri and Charmi visiting Judith; Bagoa and the Generals before the Corpse of Holofernes; and The Battle of the Jews, plate 10, 19 and 20 from The Book of Judith

These three dramatic prints by Lovis Corinth depict pivotal scenes from the biblical story of Judith, rendered with the artist's characteristic expressive intensity and vigorous draftsmanship. The compositions capture moments of tension and triumph — from intimate encounters to the shocking discovery of Holofernes' decapitated body and the subsequent clash of armies — showcasing Corinth's ability to convey raw human emotion and narrative dynamism. Published by Pan-Presse (Verlag Paul Cassirer) in Berlin in a limited edition of 250, these pencil-signed prints represent a significant example of early twentieth-century German Expressionist printmaking.

Medium
all signed in pencil, from the edition of 250 (there were also 60 on Japanese paper), published by Pan-Presse (Verlag Paul Cassirer), Berlin, all framed.
