Consid - ered a MUnich Secessionist, the controversial late- 19th-centUry artist explored narratives on life, death and temptation, often with biblical and literary references, in moody pieces with allegorical Under - tones. While he is known for his paintings of beaUti - fUl dead women, Max also had a strong interest in nat - Ural sciences, the occUlt and the origins of mankind. With sUch sUbjects, his paintings were often deemed morbid, althoUgh his technical skills and imaginative E intelligence are self-evident.
