Image series 34 / 2025: Charlotte Berend-Corinth
Artist, Painter's wife, Muse
She is best known as the wife and muse of Lovis Corinth, whom she married in 1904, but Charlotte Berend-Corinth always kept her own career in mind and was an independent artist with countless exhibitions. She created an extensive body of work of her own, always thematically in tune with the times.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Lovis Corinth’s death, the exhibition sheds light on the fate of the works of the artist and his wife, the painter Charlotte Berend-Corinth. The exhibition focuses on the different provenances of the paintings.
