"That corner of the world smiles for me more than anywhere else.. (ille terrarum mihi praeter omnes angulus ridet..)" In 1921 Liebermann used the words from Horace's 6th ode to describe his summer house on Wannsee, which was his retreat from the bustling metropolis Berlin (cf. J. E.

Liebermann‘s tremendous graphic skills and his technical perfection become particularly obvious in this pastel. This work captures all the beauty of the view onto the garden on Wannsee, which opened up from his house down to the lake. The bold lines in the tree‘s foliage are proof of Liebermann‘s spontaneous act of capturing this happy moment in the beloved garden of his summer residence. Max Liebermann‘s paintings and pastels of his famous garden on Wannsee mark the heyday of German impressionist landscape painting at the beginning of the first half of the twentieth century. Max Liebermann, along with Corinth and Slevogt, created the very accomplishments, which, next to the art of Expressionism and New Objectivity, are the art-historically most relevant documents of German art from these decades of transition.[KD]
