Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) was a German painter and printmaker associated with the late Impressionist and early Expressionist movements. His works often explored themes of mythology, religion, and literature, as well as scenes from everyday life. Corinth was known for his dynamic brushwork and vibrant use of color, which became more pronounced after he suffered a stroke in 1911 that affected his motor skills.
The painting Reinecke Und Grimbart Der Dachs Auf Der Pilgerreise Betrachten Einen Gut Ernährten Hahn, Den Reinecke Zu Fressen Versucht II (translated as "Reinecke and Grimbart the Badger on the Pilgrimage Look at a Well-Fed Rooster, Which Reinecke Tries to Eat II") is one of Corinth's works inspired by the medieval German fable Reineke Fuchs (Reynard the Fox). This fable, a satirical allegory, tells the story of Reynard, a cunning fox who uses his wit and guile to navigate a world of anthropomorphic animals. The tale has been a popular subject in European art and literature for centuries, and Corinth's interpretation reflects his interest in narrative and allegorical themes.
In this painting, Corinth depicts a scene involving Reinecke (Reynard the Fox) and Grimbart the Badger, two central characters from the fable. The composition shows the two animals observing a plump rooster, which Reinecke appears to be scheming to eat. Corinth's use of expressive brushstrokes and rich color palette brings a sense of vitality and tension to the scene, capturing the mischievous and predatory nature of the fox. The painting is part of a series of works by Corinth that illustrate episodes from the Reineke Fuchs story, showcasing his ability to blend narrative content with his distinctive artistic style.
The painting reflects Corinth's fascination with storytelling and his ability to convey complex emotions and dynamics through his art. It also demonstrates his engagement with literary and cultural traditions, as the Reineke Fuchs fable was widely known and appreciated in German-speaking countries during his time. Corinth's interpretation of the tale is both playful and dramatic, emphasizing the moral ambiguity and cunning of its characters.
This work is an example of Corinth's mature style, characterized by bold, energetic strokes and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. It is part of his broader body of work that often explored themes of human and animal behavior, morality, and the complexities of life. The painting is housed in a private collection or museum, though specific details about its current location or provenance are not widely documented.
