"Das Opfer" (The Sacrifice) is a poignant and evocative work by the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz, created in 1922 as part of her larger series "War" (Krieg). Kollwitz, known for her profound and empathetic portrayals of human suffering and social injustice, was deeply affected by the personal and collective tragedies of World War I. This particular piece reflects her intense grief and the broader anguish experienced by countless families during the war.

Kollwitz's son, Peter, was killed in action in 1914, a loss that profoundly influenced her work. "Das Opfer" captures the essence of maternal sacrifice and the devastating impact of war on families. The piece is characterized by its stark, monochromatic palette and Kollwitz's masterful use of line and shading to convey deep emotional resonance. The central figure, a mother, is depicted in a moment of profound sorrow and resignation, offering her child as a sacrifice to the war. The mother's expression and posture convey a sense of inevitable loss and the heavy burden of grief.

The work is executed in Kollwitz's signature style, combining elements of realism with a deeply personal and emotional perspective. Her ability to capture the raw, unfiltered emotions of her subjects has made her one of the most significant artists of the early 20th century. "Das Opfer" stands as a powerful testament to the human cost of war and the enduring strength of maternal love.

Kollwitz's "War" series, including "Das Opfer," has been widely acclaimed for its emotional depth and technical mastery. The series remains a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit. Through her art, Kollwitz continues to speak to the universal experiences of loss, mourning, and the hope for peace.
