Max Liebermann was born in 1847 in Berlin, Germany and died in 1935 in the same city. He is considered by many one of the most important painters of German impressionism. His style was influenced by Monet and Degas.
He was born in a Jewish family of manufacturers and at the age of 16 he studies with Karl Steffeck. From 1868 to 1872, he studied painting and art history with Ferdinand Pauwels and later joined the landscape painter Theodor Hagen, through whom he met the Hungarian painter Mihály Munkácsy, whose work ‘Die Charpiezupferinnen’ (1871) made a lasting impressions on him.
