Nude Girl, Lovis Corinth, 1886, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

Born in East Prussia, Lovis Corinth spent almost the entirety of his training and career in Munich and Berlin. However, from 1884-87 the artist - who aspired to be a history painter - studied in Paris at the Académie Julian under the two celebrated artists, Tony Robert-Fleury and Adolphe William Bouguereau. Their teaching focused on life drawing - an approach that was particularly suited to the large figural compositions of history paintings. This life study is one of approximately twenty paintings - mostly nudes - that survive from Corinth's Parisian sojourn. Size: 30 x 25 1/4 in. (76.2 x 64.14 cm) (canvas) 37 1/2 x 32 1/4 x 2 1/2 in.
