Lovis Corinth was born on July 21, 1858 in the town of Tapiau in East Prussia (today Gwardejsk, Russia). His interest in Greek and Roman mythology as well as the Christian stories of the Bible was awakened while he was still at high school in Königsberg. from 1876, Lovis Corinth attended the art academy in Königsberg, where he studied with Otto Günther, who introduced him to Weimar open-air painting. In 1880 he moved to the Munich Academy. Works from his time in Munich demonstrate his orientation towards the naturalistic painting style of the circle around Wilhelm Leibl.
In 1883, Lovis Corinth traveled to Italy with his father, and in 1884 he spent three months in Antwerp, where he took painting lessons with Paul Eugène Gorge. 1884-1887 Corinth studied in Paris at the Académie Julian. The artist then traveled to Berlin, where he created his first self-portrait in 1887/88, which was followed by numerous others over the years.
from 1891 to 1899 Corinth lived as a freelance painter in Munich, where he was a member of the Secession. After he met Max Liebermann and Walter Leistikow in the winter of 1898/99, he decided to move to Berlin, where he moved in 1901. Previously, his work “Salomé with the Head of John, II Version” was shown with great success at the second exhibition of the “Berliner Secession”.
Lovis Corinth opens a painting school in Berlin. In 1903 he married Charlotte Berend, his first student. A son was born in 1904. During this time, the motif of the mother with her child appeared again and again in his works. Corinth's painting style, initially dark and heavy, now begins to become looser and lighter, impressionistic. His painting style always shows a powerful brushwork and pasty application of paint. His pictures are created entirely from color. In later years, painting took on more and more expressive features. This piece has an attribution mark,
