Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "View of Basel and the Rhine" is a vibrant testament to the artist's profound ability to capture the essence of a place through his unique expressionist lens.

Born in 1880 in Aschaffenburg, Germany, Kirchner's life was marked by the turbulence of the early 20th century, including the impact of World War I, which deeply affected his mental and physical health. Despite these challenges, he produced a prolific body of work that pushed the boundaries of traditional art forms.

This piece exemplifies his philosophical approach of expressing subjective emotions rather than objective reality.
