Summary

Sintflut. 1918. Holzschnitt in Blauschwarz auf braunem Papier. 70,7 x 51,5 cm

Christian Rohlfs (1849–1938) was a German painter and printmaker who worked in an Expressionist style. Rohlfs studied art in the 1870s in Weimar, Germany, where he was schooled in a naturalistic figure painting tradition. Until about age 50, Rohlfs painted large landscapes in the style of academic realism. During the 1880s, colour became an increasingly important element in his work. Working independently, he developed a freely colourful style similar to that of French Impressionism.
