Focus on this artwork and explain the Source of inspiration.
The artist's frustration with the conformist society of his time surged in 1891. The Man of Sorrows is a turning point in Ensor's career and it shows the artist's anger and his desire for resistance.Ensor was intrigued by Bruegel and the primitive. He called his fascination as "love for extraordinary and the abnormal". This love is reflected in The Man of Sorrows and another of his paintings, The Mystic Death of a Theologian.
