The artwork “Nothung,” created by Anselm Kiefer in 1973, belongs to the Expressionism art movement. This piece is categorized under the figurative and interior genres. The artwork depicts a wooden interior, imbued with detailed textures and shading that provide a sense of depth and structure. The setting appears to be an empty room with wooden beams and planks forming the walls, ceiling, and floor. A single sword, prominent in its detail, is embedded into the wooden floor, exuding a solitary yet powerful presence. This scene is both evocative and contemplative, inviting the viewer to ponder its narrative and symbolism.
