Wilhelm Leibl

Wilhelm Maria Hubertus Leibl was a German painter of the last third of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, a representative of German realism, who specialized in portraits and scenes of peasant life.

Leibl created paintings that were characterized by the absence of idylls, showing a person without embellishments. After 1890, his painting became richer in detail and approached Impressionism, but retained the materiality of the images. The artist mostly painted pictures, working without preliminary drawing, which also related him to the Impressionists. His unique style brought him recognition among his contemporaries, he was recognized as an outstanding master and became the leader of the group of artists "Leibl circle".
