Max Liebermann loved Italy and its light. Between 1878 and 1913 he visited the Bel Paese at least six times, going to the cities of art: Venice, Florence and Rome and even reaching Naples. He was also one of the protagonists of the first Venice Biennials. As an artist, he is famous for his unmistakable style that reproduced on canvases sparkling spots of light and color. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism, the Goethe House Museum is hosting a retrospective dedicated to the German Jewish painter Max Liebermann, the greatest exponent of this artistic movement. Through a selection of 32 works, the career of an artist who was a great modernizer of the Berlin art scene is retraced. His canvases depicting scenes of bourgeois life on the seashore and the leisure activities of young bathers on the Dutch coast are famous.
