The March of the Weavers in Berlin

Käthe Kollwitz's painting The March of the Weavers in Berlin powerfully captures the struggles of the working class through her characteristic realism and emotional depth. Known for her work across painting, printmaking, and sculpture, Kollwitz’s art often depicts themes of poverty, hunger, and war, as seen in her notable cycles The Weavers and The Peasant War. Originally creating Engraving and Paper-based works, her style is now associated with Expressionism. Her contributions to Genre painting and her pioneering role as a woman in the Prussian Academy of Arts highlight her significance in art history.
