Ernst Oppler

Ernst Oppler (19 September 1867 – 1 March 1929)[1] was a German Impressionist painter and etcher born in Hanover.

In 1904 Max Liebermann invited Ernst Oppler and Lovis Corinth to leave Munich and move to Berlin.

Oppler became there a renowned portraitist, and also chronicled daily life through his drawings, etchings, painted cityscapes and genre scenes.

In 1912 after controversies about expressionism he stopped participating in the exhibitions of the Berlin secession but he still remained one of the most prominent members of the avantgarde.

In Germany works by Ernst Oppler are on display at the National Gallery Berlin, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Lower Saxony State Museum and others.
