Leibl Circle

About

The Leibl Circle was a group of German Realist painters who gathered around Wilhelm Leibl in Munich and later in rural Bavaria between 1871 and 1873. United by a commitment to direct observation and a rejection of academic idealism, they produced works characterized by rigorous naturalism and precise technique.
