Ritter Tod, from the series Brahmsphantasie 1894

"Ritter Tod," a 1894 etching by Max Klinger, from his series *Brahmsphantasie*, is a striking example of Symbolism in art. The print depicts a knight on horseback in the distance, with a woman kneeling in the foreground, both seemingly lost in thought. The work's melancholic mood is enhanced by the subtle details of the scene, such as the woman's hand clasping her breast and the distant castle looming in the background. Klinger's intricate etching technique is showcased in the detailed rendering of the figures and landscape. *Ritter Tod* is a complex and powerful image that continues to fascinate art lovers today.
