Egon Tschirch (Rostock, 22 June 1889[1]–5 February 1948[2]) was a German painter and illustrator. In the 1920s, he was regarded as one of the most important artists of Mecklenburg.[3] After the 1930s, Tschirch was viewed with skepticism due to his affiliation with National Socialism and being a member of the Nazi Party. In 2015, the rediscovery of a major work of his, his Song of Songs picture cycle, initiated discussion and re-evaluation of the artist and his work.[3][4]
