Berlin, the vibrant artistic capital of Germany
City that is both historic and avant-garde, Berlin is a place of contrasts where the past, modernity, and creativity meet. Once an imperial city, a cultural capital, and a symbol of freedom, it has always inspired artists. Its grand avenues, majestic monuments, lush parks, and lively neighborhoods have nourished generations of painters fascinated by its energy and its unique light.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Berlin as depicted by iconic artists such as Max Liebermann, Lesser Ury, Hans Baluschek, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Franz Skarbina. Each of them captured the unique soul of the German capital, blending bourgeois elegance, urban life, and artistic vibrancy.

The spirit of Berlin in your decor
Hanging an art print of Berlin means bringing into your interior the breath of a city that is both refined, lively, and full of character. The art prints of Berlin capture the northern light, the shadows of the boulevards, and the changing atmospheres of the seasons.
These works integrate perfectly into modern, industrial, or contemporary interiors, but also blend beautifully with classic decor thanks to their chromatic richness and historical depth. A view of Unter den Linden, an Impressionist urban scene by Lesser Ury, or a depiction of Tiergarten evoke both the beauty, movement, and melancholy of Berlin.
This collection reflects the balance between architecture, light, and humanity, where each art print becomes an open window onto a city in perpetual renewal.

The great Berlin painters
Max Liebermann (1847–1935), a major figure of German Impressionism and president of the Berlin Secession, painted the city with elegance and humanity.
Lesser Ury (1861–1931) was the great painter of Berlin’s nightlife: his rainy streets and luminous reflections convey the poetry of the modern capital.
Hans Baluschek depicted the working-class city, its stations, and suburbs, offering a social and expressive perspective on Berlin at the turn of the century.
The expressionists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, members of Die Brücke, made Berlin a symbol of artistic modernity, vibrant with colors and energy.
Finally, Franz Skarbina illustrated the elegant boulevards and parks of the capital, between realism and romanticism.
