In the 1920s, Schmidt-Rottluff entered a phase of extensive travel:
"In 1923, he set off towards southern Europe for the first time to explore Italy in the company of his sculptor friends Georg Kolbe and Richard Scheibe. This was followed by trips to Paris (1924), Dalmatia (1925), and the Swiss Ticino (1927-1929). The inspiration the artist found there is reflected in the increased production of landscape paintings starting midway through the decade. Around this time, a further stylistic transformation became apparent: The works are characterized by a greater closeness to nature, the forms become more plastic and voluminous, and the color loses its luminosity and gets more nuanced, giving the works a more harmonious and calmer effect. Schmidt-Rottluff's turn towards a more natural, sculptural style is linked to his first trip to Italy and was encouraged by his sculptor friends. Karl Brix wrote about the "transformation of Schmidt-Rottluff's art": "He had a strong inner relationship to nature, deeply experiencing its wealth of forms as reality, as a spatial and organic unity." (quoted from Magdalene Schlösser, Landschaft, in: Magdalena Möller (ed.), Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Landscape, Figure, Still Life, 2014, p. 27)
