More about this artwork

"In the Rain" by Franz Marc (1912) captures a vivid and tumultuous scene that seems to both celebrate and mourn the organic interconnection of life. In this compelling work, Marc employs bold, swirling colors and fragmented forms to explore the theme of nature disturbed by the dynamic force of a rainstorm. The canvas is alive with reds, greens, and blues that interlace and overlap, suggesting the chaotic movement of flora and fauna caught in the storm’s embrace.At the center of the painting, we can discern the outlines of several animals—a recurring motif in Marc's work—blending harmoniously into the landscape yet simultaneously standing out against the lush, abstract background. The presence of human-like figures interwoven with the animals adds a layer of complexity, evoking a sense of unity and coexistence between human and nature. Marc’s technique, characterized by strong, expressive brushstrokes, heightens the emotional impact of the scene, enveloping the viewer in the atmospheric turbulence.This painting is a striking example of German Expressionism, where emotion and expression take precedence over realistic representations, aiming to evoke deeper contemplations on the natural world and our place within it.

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).
