Description

Wolfgang Willrich, ‘Liegender weiblicher Akt im Waldesinneren’ (‘Reclining female nude in the woods’)
Biography: Wolfgang Willrich

This is one of the very few oil paintings of Wolfang Wilrich. This large painting was the centerpiece of a three-part altarpiece intended for the secularized Reichsdom in Braunschweig. The original left and right wings of the altarpiece were ‘Verheißung’ (‘Advent’) and ‘Erwartung’ (‘Expectation’), symbols of the virgin innocence and motherhood. The original designs were published in 1943 in the third edition of Willrich’s book ‘Des edlen ewiges Reich’ (‘The noble, eternal Empire’). The middle section shown here depicts the woman’s holiness and her healthy and pure blood. She is surrounded by domestic plants, leaves and herbs which are gradually depicted from the left part, over the middle part, to the right part. Created around 1943. With certified provenance.

‘Liegender weiblicher Akt im Waldesinneren’ by Willrich, depicted in the exhibition catalog ‘Art in the Third Reich’ by Jelle Bouwhuis and Almar Seinen, 2023.
