"Der getötete Drache" (The Slain Dragon) is a painting by the German artist Lovis Corinth, created in 1913. Corinth was a prominent figure in the transition from Impressionism to Expressionism, and his works often reflect a dynamic blend of both styles. This particular painting is an example of his mature period, where he explored mythological and historical themes with a vigorous and expressive brushwork.

The painting depicts a dramatic scene inspired by the myth of Saint George and the Dragon, a popular subject in Western art. Corinth's interpretation is notable for its intense energy and emotional depth. The slain dragon lies at the center of the composition, its body rendered with bold, sweeping strokes that convey a sense of movement and struggle. The figure of the dragon slayer, presumably Saint George, is not prominently featured, which shifts the focus onto the aftermath of the battle and the dragon itself.

Corinth's use of color in "Der getötete Drache" is striking, with a palette that includes deep reds, earthy browns, and vibrant greens. These colors enhance the dramatic tension of the scene and highlight Corinth's skill in manipulating color to evoke mood and atmosphere. The painting's texture is also noteworthy, as Corinth's thick application of paint adds a tactile quality to the work, inviting viewers to engage with the physicality of the scene.

This work is part of Corinth's broader exploration of mythological subjects, which he approached with a modern sensibility, often infusing traditional narratives with contemporary psychological insights. "Der getötete Drache" exemplifies Corinth's ability to blend narrative content with expressive form, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre.

The painting is housed in a private collection, and while it may not be as widely known as some of Corinth's other works, it remains an important example of his artistic innovation and thematic interests during the early 20th century.
