More about this artwork

Franz Marc's "Nudes under Trees" is a fascinating exploration of color and form, where the natural and the ethereal merge into one enchanting composition. Painted in 1911, this masterpiece captures two nude figures lounging beneath an abstract canopy of vibrant, twisting trees. The figures are rendered with smooth, flowing lines that echo the organic shapes of the landscape around them, emphasizing a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature.Marc's use of color is particularly striking. He employs a rich palette of blues, greens, yellows, and purples, creating a dreamlike quality that seems to lift the scene out of the ordinary and into a realm of tranquil beauty. The trees, characterized by their sinuous trunks and patches of foliage, frame the figures with a rhythmic pattern that guides the viewer's eye throughout the painting.This painting is not merely a depiction of human figures in a landscape but a profound statement on the unity of life and the world.

Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc (8 February 1880 – 4 March 1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism. He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it.

His mature works mostly are animals, and are known for bright colors. He was drafted to serve in the German Army at the beginning of World War I, and died two years later at the Battle of Verdun.

In the 1930s, the Nazis named him a degenerate artist as part of their suppression of modern art. However, most of his work survived World War II, securing his legacy. His work is now exhibited in many eminent galleries and museums. When up for auction, his major paintings attract large sums, with a record of £42,654,500 for Die Füchse (The Foxes).
