Johann Karl Loth was a German painter of the second half of the 17th century, the Baroque era. He is known as a painter and graphic artist, a representative of Caravaggism.
Loth painted canvases with historical, religious and mythological subjects, as well as portraits. In portrait painting, he brought elements of genre, which was influenced by the Flemish masters. The combination of dynamic brushstrokes, colorful variety and spectacular lighting in the style of the masters of Northern Italy attracted the attention of European collectors and aristocratic clients.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
Corinth studied in Paris and Munich, joined the Berlin Secession group, later succeeding Max Liebermann as the group's president. His early work was naturalistic in approach. Corinth was initially antagonistic towards the expressionist movement, but after a stroke in 1911 his style loosened and took on many expressionistic qualities. His use of color became more vibrant, and he created portraits and landscapes of extraordinary vitality and power. Corinth's subject matter also included nudes and biblical scenes.
