Second version
The painting shows the so-called "Red Tower", a separate late Gothic clock tower based on Gothic bricks, one of the landmarks of the city of Halley (also known as: Halle).
The "Red Tower" is located in the same square as the theme "Church" (the church on the left in the background) chosen by Fenninger in his work. The square is depicted at such a strongly distorted angle that it looks like it has been folded into the frame. Surrounded by tall buildings. In this setting, the Red Tower combines stability and aggression. To emphasize its immortality, Kirchner chose a larger proportion for the tower than it is around.

Artist Profile
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (6 May 1880 – 15 June 1938) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker, and one of the founders of the artist group Die Brücke (English: The Bridge), an important group that founded Expressionism in twentieth-century art. Kirchner worked in painting and woodcuts as early as secondary school and later at the Munich Art School. Kelsina was deeply influenced by Gauguin and Van Gogh's painting styles, and as a result, he particularly admired the "anti-naturalism" way of expressing color and highlighting the subject matter.
