Max Liebermann (1847–1935) – one of the most important German painters and printmakers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a leading figure of German Impressionism. He studied at the Großherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstschule in Weimar, where he was taught by Ferdinand Pauwels, among others, and subsequently developed his artistic style during his stay in Paris and numerous trips to the Netherlands. He was a co-founder and long-time president of the Berliner Secession, and from 1920 to 1932, president of the Prussian Academy of Arts. Scenes from everyday life and work, portraits, landscapes, and depictions inspired by his stays in the Netherlands occupied an important place in his work.
