Swimmers 1875 - 1877

Max Liebermann's "Swimmers" (1875-1877) depicts a group of young boys changing clothes after a swim. The painting is a prime example of Liebermann's early Impressionist style, capturing the candid moments of everyday life with loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and color. The scene evokes a sense of youthful energy and freedom as the boys interact in a natural, unposed manner. The painting is notable for its depiction of the human figure, which is rendered in a realistic and sensitive way. The work showcases Liebermann's skill in depicting the play of light and shadow on the bodies of the swimmers.
