Bathing boys 1900

"Bathing Boys" is a 1900 painting by Max Liebermann, depicting a group of young boys bathing in the sea. The scene is rendered with a loose, impressionistic brushstroke, capturing the fleeting moments of light and movement. The painting exemplifies Liebermann's focus on depicting everyday life, particularly in the context of the working class. "Bathing Boys" is a prime example of German Impressionism and demonstrates Liebermann's ability to convey the beauty of nature while capturing the essence of human activity. The painting’s size, at 113 x 152 cm, also contributes to the immersive and almost photographic quality of the scene.
