Original Description
Käthe Kollwitz’s Maria und Elisabeth - III. Fassung (Third Version) is a profoundly moving work from one of Germany’s most celebrated expressionist artists. Created in 1906, this etching captures the intimate yet sorrowful encounter between the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, a biblical scene imbued with raw emotional intensity. Kollwitz’s stark, expressive linework and deep chiaroscuro heighten the sense of shared grief and maternal tenderness, themes central to her oeuvre. The third version of this subject reflects her relentless refinement of emotional depth and technical mastery, as she often revisited motifs to achieve greater psychological resonance. Historically, Kollwitz’s work stands as a bridge between social realism and expressionism, with her focus on human suffering and resilience earning her a unique place in modern art. This piece, in particular, showcases her ability to transform biblical narratives into universal meditations on loss and compassion.
For displaying Maria und Elisabeth - III. Fassung in a home or office, consider a quiet, contemplative space where its emotional gravity can be appreciated—such as a study, library, or entryway with subdued lighting to enhance its dramatic contrasts. A vintage or minimalist frame in black or dark wood would complement Kollwitz’s graphic style without overwhelming it. Given its monochromatic palette, pair it with neutral-toned walls (soft grays or warm whites) to let the etching stand out. For color harmony, introduce muted earth tones or deep blues in textiles or furnishings nearby. Smaller prints (around 30x40 cm) suit intimate settings like a reading nook, while a larger format could anchor a spacious office wall. Avoid overly decorative surroundings—this piece thrives in simplicity, inviting reflection in a space designed for introspection.
