About The Dead Sparrow

“The Dead Sparrow” is a distinguished artwork created by Franz Marc in 1905. This piece, characterized by its Impressionistic style, falls within the genre of animal painting and measures 13 x 16.5 cm. Currently, it resides in a private collection.

The artwork portrays a lifeless sparrow in a somber and subdued palette, predominantly using shades of brown and cream. The bird is rendered with an impressionistic touch, where brushstrokes are visible and the forms are softened, evoking a sense of fragility and poignancy. The background consists of swirling strokes, suggesting movement and depth, while contrasting the stillness of the sparrow itself. Through this delicate and evocative depiction, the artist captures not only the physical presence of the sparrow but also an atmosphere of hushed solemnity, reflecting a deeper contemplation of life and mortality.
