Battle at Valmy (Schlacht von Valmy) from the portfolio Das Buch Le Grand

Max Oppenheimer was an Austrian painter and printmaker associated with Expressionism and early modernism in early-twentieth-century Vienna. Working primarily in oil and graphic media, he developed a gestural approach to portraiture and figure composition that emphasized psychological intensity over naturalistic detail. Active across painting, drawing, and printmaking throughout his career, Oppenheimer navigated the artistic ferment of post-war Austrian modernism.
