About the piece
Painted in 1913, this striking self-portrait by German artist Lovis Corinth depicts him in the guise of a Nuremberg mercenary (Landsknecht). The work is defined by its vigorous brushwork and a dramatic palette of deep reds and ochres, showcasing the artist's masterful transition toward Expressionism through highly textured and emotive mark-making.
