"Die Gefangenen, Plate VII from Bauernkrieg" is a significant work by the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz, created as part of her series on the Peasants' War (Bauernkrieg). Kollwitz, born in 1867, is celebrated for her poignant and powerful depictions of human suffering and social injustice, often focusing on the plights of the working class and the impacts of war.

The Peasants' War series, produced between 1902 and 1908, is one of Kollwitz's most acclaimed bodies of work. It consists of seven etchings that chronicle the German Peasants' War of 1524-1525, a widespread popular revolt in the German-speaking areas of Central Europe. "Die Gefangenen" (The Prisoners) is the seventh plate in this series and captures the aftermath of the conflict, focusing on the captured peasants.

In "Die Gefangenen," Kollwitz employs her characteristic style of stark realism and emotional intensity. The etching portrays a group of defeated and despondent peasants, bound and under guard, their expressions and postures conveying a deep sense of despair and resignation. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the somber mood and underscores the gravity of their situation.

Kollwitz's work on the Peasants' War series was deeply influenced by her socialist beliefs and her empathy for the oppressed. Through "Die Gefangenen," she not only memorializes the historical event but also draws a parallel to the contemporary struggles of her time, making a poignant statement on the cyclical nature of social injustice and the enduring plight of the downtrodden.

"Die Gefangenen" stands as a testament to Kollwitz's mastery in printmaking and her unwavering commitment to social commentary through art. It remains a powerful piece within her oeuvre, reflecting her profound ability to convey complex human emotions and social issues through her evocative and meticulously crafted works.
