More about this artwork

Experience the tranquil essence of Franz Marc's "Dog Lying in the Snow," an exquisite example of his unique use of color and form, painted around 1911. Capturing a moment of serene repose, this painting features a dog nestled gracefully within the snowy landscape, its form merging harmoniously with the white and cool blue shadows of the snow around it. Marc's characteristic use of bright, almost surreal colors highlights the animal's form, with shades of vibrant yellow and subtle hints of green and purple, adding a dreamlike quality to this peaceful scene.This artwork exemplifies Marc's profound connection to animals and nature, subjects he believed symbolized purity and spiritual redemption in a modernizing world. The gentle curves and flowing lines of the dog's body suggest a deep sense of calm and contentment, evoking a sense of empathy and reflection in the viewer.

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).
