About the piece
Created in 1911 by German master Lovis Corinth, 'Der Fanatiker' (The Fanatic) is a powerful example of the artist's energetic, painterly style. The composition focuses on a hooded figure whose rapturous gaze and trembling hand gestures over a thick tome suggest a state of profound spiritual or scholarly obsession, characteristic of Corinth's later, more emotive works.
