Max Liebermann (1847-1935) was a German painter and printmaker known for his impressionist style. Born in Berlin, he studied at the Weimar Academy of Fine Arts and later in Paris, where he was influenced by the works of the French Impressionists. Liebermann's paintings often depicted everyday life, landscapes, and portraits, and he was particularly interested in capturing the effects of light and color. He was also a prominent member of the Berlin Secession, a group of artists who sought to break away from traditional academic art and promote modernism. Despite facing criticism and censorship during the Nazi regime, Liebermann continued to paint until his death in 1935. Today, his works can be found in museums and galleries around the world, including the National Gallery in Berlin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
