Trimalchio's Banquet 10
Lovis Corinth brings the ancient Roman excess of Petronius's *Satyricon* to life with scratchy, frenetic energy in this etching. The scene is a chaotic banquet where grotesque figures lunge for food, their bodies twisting in a frenzy of gluttony that feels more like a nightmare than a party. Corinth uses rough, aggressive lines to strip away the elegance of a traditional feast, leaving behind raw human appetite and decay. It's a wild, messy look at ancient indulgence that feels surprisingly modern in its psychological intensity.
