More about this artwork

Christian Rohlfs’ painting titled "König" (1910) portrays a vivid and expressionistic depiction of a king, rendered with bold lines and dramatic color choices that emphasize the regality and authority of the central figure. Dominating the composition is the figure of the king himself, cloaked in a rich, red garment that suggests the weight and grandeur of his station. His crown, ornamented with jewels, sits prominently on his head, enhancing his stature and the visual impact of his rule.The king holds a scepter, a traditional symbol of sovereignty, which along with his commanding posture, reinforces his role as a ruler. His expression is stern and his beard dramatically stylized, which might suggest wisdom or long-standing power. The use of dark, sketchy lines to outline the king’s features and attire gives the work an intense, almost urgent character.The background of the painting is subdued in comparison, in simple washes of green and beige, ensuring that the focus remains squarely on the monarch. This striking use of color and form makes "König" a compelling exploration of power and rule through the unique lens of Christian Rohlfs’ expressionistic style.
