German, 1847–1935
Max Liebermann (1847–1935) was a German painter and printmaker, recognized as a leading figure in Impressionism in Germany and continental Europe. He studied art in Weimar, Paris, and the Netherlands, and after a period in Munich, settled permanently in Berlin in 1884. Liebermann created over 200 commissioned portraits and often depicted scenes of bourgeois life and his garden near Lake Wannsee. He led the Berlin Secession from 1899 to 1911, presided over the Prussian Academy of Arts from 1920, and assembled a significant collection of French Impressionist works, which was later looted by the Nazis.
