Der Ritter (The Knight) 1914

Lovis Corinth's 1914 etching, *Der Ritter (The Knight)*, depicts a knight in armor standing over a prone, nude figure. The work's expressive lines and bold contrasts showcase Corinth's characteristic style, a blend of Expressionism and Symbolism. The piece's subject matter, likely inspired by medieval narratives, suggests themes of power, vulnerability, and the complexities of human relationships. This print, measuring 14.8 x 11.7 cm, is an example of Corinth's mastery of the etching technique, evident in the delicate details and strong tonal range.
