Susanna in the Bath
1890
Lovis Corinth brings a creepy voyeuristic thriller vibe to this biblical scene from 1890. Susanna sits exposed and vulnerable, drying her foot, while a bearded elder lurks in the shadows behind the curtain, spying on her with a sinister look. This painting is a great example of Corinth's early style, blending realistic flesh tones with the loose, energetic brushwork that would soon define German Expressionism. Keep an eye on the ring and rose on the floor—they're subtle hints at the innocence about to be lost to the elders' blackmail plot.
