The Net Menders by Max Liebermann

Max Liebermann was a German painter born in Berlin in 1847. He was an avid collector of the French Impressionists, actually the biggest collector in Germany, and an important Impressionist painter himself. While Max died a few years before the outbreak of WWII, his Jewish heritage made him as his family a target for Nazi persecution. This resulted in the Liebermann art collection being looted by the Nazis, and sadly much of it is still unaccounted for to this day.
