  About the Artwork
  
  
  In oil paintings, watercolors, and prints, Corinth depicted views from his vacation home situated high above the village of Urfeld on Lake Walchen In Bavaria. They are among the most beautiful and intensely emotional works created during the last seven years of his life, a period which was especially inspired and productive. The construction of the Corinth family home was supervised by his beloved wife, painter Charlotte Berend, and it was given her nickname "Petermannchen."

  Accession Number
  
  
  
  This unique number is assigned to an individual artwork as part of the cataloguing process at the time of entry into the permanent collection.
  Most frequently, accession numbers begin with the year in which the artwork entered the museum’s holdings.
  For example, 2008.3 refers to the year of acquisition and notes that it was the 3rd of that year. The DIA has a few additional systems—no longer assigned—that identify specific donors or museum patronage groups.
