He will explore and all the territory of Congo, which is still at the time the property of King Leopold II of Belgium. In 1912 he participated in the discovery of the African continent. It is, then, the explosion of his life. He became a bulimic observer, every nook and cranny is sketched and sketched. From 1920, he turns to a painter and especially as an animal painter. He hands, then with his wife in search of large savannah animals capturing them in their closest attitudes of reality. They travel vast African countries together as Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Ethiopia, South Africa, and many other countries.

    Located in Berlin, DE
    Ernst Albert Fischer-Cörlin (1853 Körlin - 1932 Persante). Feeding the Kittens, 1893. Pencil on painting cardboard, 38 x 29 cm. Signed and dated by the artist at lower left "E[rnst] A[lbert] Fischer=Cörlin 1893". - Lightly stained, somewhat dusty and minimally foxed. - Little cat mother - About the artwork Daughter, mother and grandmother gather in the sunlight to feed a litter of kittens. The mother and grandmother hold the lively, playful animals in their arms, while the young girl feeds two of the four kittens with cookies. There is also a small bucket of milk and a bowl of milk. The women and the girl watch as the cute, still blind animals eat. It is a scene taken from everyday life, but it also has an allegorical dimension, bringing maternal care into the representation. Three generations are represented, with the grandmother and the mother already mothers. They not only offer the kittens to the youngest, but also proudly observe the maternal care that the youngest gives to the kittens. Like the kittens, she will grow up and become a mother herself, so the image is also an allegory of life's ever-new beginnings. In keeping with this, the morning sun shines into the picture from the right. Fischer-Cörlin has masterfully worked out the quality of the light, with its light and dark areas, with the pencil used...
