More about this artwork

Franz Marc's "Two Deer Lying Down" from 1912 invites viewers into an intimate and abstract exploration of nature and its serene inhabitants. In this compelling artwork, Marc portrays two deer, their bodies composed of bold, vibrant blocks of color that capture both their form and the emotional resonance of their peaceful repose. The red, blue, and green hues interlock in a dynamic yet harmonious arrangement, highlighting the artist's love for color symbolism and expressionistic style.This painting reflects Marc's fascination with animals as pure, spiritual beings, as well as his innovative approach to using color to evoke a sense of universal connectivity. The deer are almost blended into their surroundings, symbolic perhaps of their unity with the natural world, a recurring theme in Marc's work where animals often signify an ideal of innocence and purity."Two Deer Lying Down" is not just a depiction of wildlife; it is an emotional landscape, inviting contemplation on tranquility, the essence of being, and our relationship with nature.

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).
