About the piece
Created in 1919, this late-period work by Lovis Corinth exemplifies his powerful, proto-expressionistic style. The scene illustrates the 'Homeric Laughter' of the Greek gods, rendered with thick, gestural strokes and a rich, earthy palette that emphasizes the raw energy of the mythological moment.
