Feast of Trimalchio 06
Step into the decadent, slightly gross world of ancient Rome with this frantic print by Lovis Corinth. It depicts a scene from the *Satyricon* featuring the wealthy Trimalchio—the large, imposing man standing center stage—who famously took baths in front of his guests. Created in 1921, the scratchy, energetic lines and distorted figures are classic German Expressionism, capturing the chaotic vibe of a party gone too far. Corinth brings a raw, modern energy to this ancient story of excess, making the figures look almost like they're vibrating with anxiety.
