"Der Gute Hirte" (The Good Shepherd) is a notable painting by the German expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs. Created in the early 20th century, this work exemplifies Rohlfs' mature style, characterized by bold colors, dynamic compositions, and an emotive use of form. Rohlfs, who was born in 1849 and initially trained in a more academic style, underwent a significant transformation in his artistic approach over the course of his career, moving towards expressionism and becoming one of its prominent figures in Germany.

The painting depicts the biblical figure of the Good Shepherd, a motif that has been a recurring theme in Christian art, symbolizing Christ's guidance and care for his followers. Rohlfs' interpretation of this subject is marked by his distinctive expressionist technique. The shepherd is portrayed with a sense of spiritual intensity, surrounded by a vibrant and almost abstract landscape that conveys a sense of divine presence and protection.

Rohlfs' use of color in "Der Gute Hirte" is particularly striking. He employs a rich palette to create a sense of depth and movement, with contrasting hues that draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of the shepherd. The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, contributing to the overall emotional impact of the piece.

This painting is a testament to Rohlfs' ability to blend traditional religious iconography with modernist aesthetics, creating a work that is both timeless and contemporary. "Der Gute Hirte" reflects Rohlfs' deep engagement with the spiritual and emotional dimensions of human experience, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and within the broader context of expressionist art.
