Brandenburg Gate

"Brandenburg Gate," painted in 1929 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, captures the vibrancy and energy of one of Berlin's most iconic landmarks. This striking piece, part of the Würth Collection, measures 0.7 meters wide by 0.5 meters high, drawing your eye into its dynamic composition. Kirchner bathes the Brandenburg Gate in warm yellows and oranges, echoing these hues in the surrounding buildings. Notice how he uses these vibrant colors to emphasize the bustling activity of the city. Cars stream through the gate, while pedestrians navigate the sidewalks, all rendered with a sense of motion that brings the scene to life. Overhead, the sky swirls with blues and greens, adding to the overall impression of a city pulsing with energy.
