The artwork titled “Munich-Schwabing with the Church of St. Ursula,” created by the artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1908, falls within the Expressionism art movement. This cityscape, measuring 68.8 by 49 centimeters, vividly captures a scene from Munich / Monaco, Germany. It is currently housed at the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.
The artwork is a colorful and dynamic depiction of a cityscape. Dominated by bold, vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes, it features a mix of urban and natural elements. The skyline is punctuated by the church of St. Ursula, marked by its distinctive tower, bathed in warm hues. The foreground displays an abstract, lush landscape where groups of figures and patches of greenery contrast against a backdrop of architectural forms and a dramatically colored sky. The juxtaposition of these elements highlights Kandinsky’s ability to merge reality with an emotional and imaginative expression, characteristic of his style and the broader Expressionist movement.
