Max Liebermann, a Jewish Berliner, was ousted from his position as honorary chairman of the Academy of Arts in Berlin after the Nazis seized power in 1933. He painted the portrait of his wife, Martha, five years before his death in 1935.His daughter escaped to the United States with her husband and daughter, but Martha Liebermann never managed to flee Nazi Germany. The portrait hung in her Berlin apartment where, after a visit by the police, she committed suicide by taking poison at the age of 85 to avoid being deported to a death camp. The painting is included on a Gestapo list of objects seized from her apartment after her death, according to the heirs’ lawyer, Jutta von Falkenhausen. (English)
