More about this artwork

Franz Marc's "Siberian Dogs in the Snow" emanates a crisp and vigorous energy, characteristic of his profound harmony with nature. Created between 1909 and 1910, this painting showcases Marc's skilful use of color and texture to portray the raw vigor and haunting beauty of Siberian dogs as they maneuver through a snowy landscape.The artwork is rendered with a dynamic array of brushstrokes, capturing the thick, swirling snow and the sleek, fluid forms of the dogs. The color palette is predominantly composed of subdued yellows, blues, and whites, which enhances the feeling of coldness and the stark yet muted environment in which these dogs thrive. The subtle gradations of color not only emphasize the form and movement of the dogs but also create a sense of depth and the chill of winter air.Marc's expressionistic approach adds an element of abstraction to the scene, focusing more on capturing the essence and emotion of the moment rather than detailed realism. This painting invites viewers to feel the movement and endurance of the Siberian dogs, celebrating their strength and grace under the harsh conditions of their environment."Siberian Dogs in the Snow" is a striking illustration of Franz Marc's fascination with animals and his capability to convey their spirit through his art.

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).
