More about this artwork

Franz Marc, a pivotal figure in the German Expressionist movement, brings to life the vibrant and dynamic natural world in his painting "Wild Boars in the Water." Created between 1910 and 1911, this evocative artwork showcases Marc's profound connection to animals and his unique approach to capturing their essence.The painting depicts a group of wild boars bathing in a murky, water-filled landscape. Marc uses a muted yet expressive palette that blends earthy browns, deep reds, and hints of cool blues and greens to craft the scene. The swirling colors around the boars suggest movement and the churning of water, as if capturing the boars' interactions at a moment of peak activity.Franz Marc utilizes abstract shapes and forms to render the boars and their environment, a signature of his style that aims to convey emotion and spiritual resonance over realistic portrayal. The composition is tightly framed, focusing the viewer's attention on the central subjects—the boars—and their immediate surroundings, which seem to pulsate with color and life."Wild Boars in the Water" is more than a mere depiction of wildlife; it is an invitation to contemplate man's relationship with nature and the untamed spirit of the animal kingdom.

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).
