"Die Eltern" (The Parents) is a poignant and evocative lithograph created by the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz in 1922-23. Kollwitz, known for her profound empathy and social consciousness, often depicted the struggles and sorrows of the working class and the impacts of war. "Die Eltern" is part of her series "War" (Krieg), which she produced in response to the devastating effects of World War I, particularly the loss of her own son, Peter, who died in combat in 1914.

The lithograph captures the raw grief and desolation of parents mourning the loss of their child. Kollwitz's mastery in conveying deep emotion through stark, powerful imagery is evident in this work. The composition is dominated by the figures of the parents, who are depicted in a moment of intense sorrow and mourning. The father is shown in a posture of despair, his body hunched and his face buried in his hands, while the mother clings to him, her face etched with anguish. The use of dark, heavy lines and the somber, monochromatic palette enhance the sense of mourning and loss.

Kollwitz's work is deeply personal and universal at the same time, reflecting her own grief while also resonating with the collective suffering of countless families affected by the war. "Die Eltern" is a testament to her ability to translate personal pain into a broader social commentary, making her work both timeless and profoundly moving.

Käthe Kollwitz's contributions to art and her commitment to social issues have cemented her legacy as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. "Die Eltern" remains a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring pain of loss, capturing the essence of Kollwitz's empathetic and humanistic approach to art.
