More about this artwork

Discover the tranquil allure of the early spring forest in Franz Marc's painting "Eichenstämme im Vorfrühling" (Oak Trunks in Early Spring), created in 1902. This compelling artwork invites viewers into a serene natural setting characterized by its towering oak trees and enveloping sense of calm. Marc's brushwork vividly captures the rugged textures of the tree bark and the delicate interplay of light filtering through the branches, casting mottled shadows on the forest floor.The composition masterfully directs the viewer's eye along the forest’s natural lines, tracing the undulating contours of the earth covered in golden-brown leaves from the previous autumn. The soaring trees stand as ancient sentinels, their branches reaching towards a sky filled with dynamic, swirling clouds, hinting at the changing weather of early spring.In the distance, amidst the dense foliage, hints of a distant, softer landscape suggest the vastness of nature, extending beyond the immediate vicinity. Marc’s use of natural, earthy tones juxtaposed with the dark greens and browns imbues the scene with a warm, almost melancholic atmosphere, evoking the sensation of watching winter slowly give way to the first hints of spring."Eichenstämme im Vorfrühling" is more than a visual treat; it is a meditative reflection on the power and perpetual renewal inherent in nature, captured by Franz Marc's sensitive and detailed artistic vision.

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).
