About the piece
Created in 1913, 'Das kleine Martyrium' (The Small Martyrdom) exemplifies Lovis Corinth's late-career shift toward a raw, expressive style. The painting captures the physical and spiritual drama of the Crucifixion through thick impasto and a somber, high-contrast palette. This work is a profound example of German Expressionism, where the artist's aggressive application of paint communicates deep pathos and movement.
