The artwork titled “Rhine Bridge in Köln” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1914. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is characterized as a cityscape. The dimensions of this piece measure 42.1 x 31.5 cm.
The artwork depicts a dynamic and distorted view of the Rhine Bridge in Cologne. The composition features bold, sweeping lines and angular forms that are typical of Kirchner’s expressionistic style. The imagery is intense and the perspective is exaggerated, creating a sense of movement and chaos. The use of dark, heavy strokes contrasts with the lighter background, emphasizing the structure and complexity of the bridge. The cityscape is rendered in a manner that evokes the emotional atmosphere of the era, capturing the essence of urban life through a fragmented and abstract lens.
