"Odysseus Fighting with the Beggar" is a painting by the German artist Lovis Corinth, whose full name is Franz Heinrich Louis Corinth. Created in 1903, this artwork is an interpretation of a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," where the protagonist Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, confronts another beggar named Irus at his own home in Ithaca. The painting is a testament to Corinth's expressionist style, which he adopted after suffering a stroke in 1911 that influenced his technique, leading to a more spontaneous and vigorous brushwork that became characteristic of his later works.

The painting captures the tension and dynamism of the confrontation, with both figures engaged in a physical struggle that is both a literal and metaphorical reclaiming of Odysseus's place in his home and kingdom. Corinth's use of color and form conveys the raw emotion and brutality of the scene, reflecting the artist's interest in themes of struggle, power, and human emotion.

As a prominent figure in the German art world, Corinth was associated with the Berlin Secession, a group of artists who sought to break away from the traditional academic style of the time. "Odysseus Fighting with the Beggar" is an example of Corinth's mature work, where he combines elements of impressionism with the emerging expressionist movement, demonstrating his ability to evolve and adapt his style throughout his career.

This painting is part of Corinth's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, landscapes, and biblical and mythological scenes, showcasing his versatility as an artist. "Odysseus Fighting with the Beggar" remains an important work within Corinth's body of art, reflecting both his personal artistic journey and the broader trends in European art at the turn of the 20th century.
