About the piece
Painted in 1912 by German artist Lovis Corinth, this striking work depicts the biblical figure Samson after his capture. The bold, vigorous brushwork and high-contrast lighting emphasize the figure's physical mass and internal torment, marking a peak in Corinth's late Expressionist style. It is a work of immense gravity and technical mastery.
