Fritz Eichenberg's "Satan, Go Hence!" (1949) is a dramatic woodcut that captures a pivotal moment in Fyodor Dostoevsky's *The Brothers Karamazov*, depicting the expulsion of Satan from the soul of Alyosha Karamazov. The image is full of expressive lines and contrasting values, emphasizing the dramatic tension of the scene. The central figure, Satan, is rendered with stark detail and rendered as a menacing and grotesque figure, his physicality illustrating the power of evil. This woodcut is a compelling testament to the graphic power of storytelling and the lasting influence of Dostoevsky's work on artists like Eichenberg.
