The starting point is a private collection that includes, in addition to nine paintings by Max Liebermann, important works by Max Slevogt and Lesser Ury, among others.
This extensive base of works will be augmented by more than 100 loans from some 50 international museum and private collections.
The exhibition is intended to reflect the diversity of German Impressionism through the work of more than 40 artists.
It spans a chronological arc from the 1870s to the 1930s. Alongside key works by painters long since established in the canon, such as Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Fritz von Uhde, selected works by lesser-known artists will also be included, including Philipp Franck, Theodor Hagen, Friedrich Kallmorgen, Gotthardt Kuehl, Christian Landenberger, Heinrich Eduard Linde-Walther, Ernst Oppler, Franz Skarbina, Lesser Ury, Max Uth and Heinrich von Zügel.
The exhibition also highlights the still neglected contribution of women to the development of German Impressionism, including Charlotte Berend-Corinth, Dora Hitz, Sabine Lepsius and Maria Slavona.
