Trimalchio's Banquet 11
Lovis Corinth brings the wild, decadent world of ancient Rome to life in this scratchy, energetic etching from his *Satyricon* series. The scene depicts Trimalchio's infamous feast, where a leaping figure performs for grotesque, toga-clad guests who watch with wide-eyed, caricatured expressions. The loose lines are pure Expressionism, ditching perfect realism to convey the drunken, vulgar atmosphere of the party. The '36/60' marking at the bottom identifies this as a limited edition print, showcasing Corinth's late-career fascination with classical chaos.
