“Parrot Caretaker in Artis” is a genre painting created in 1902 by Max Liebermann, a notable figure in the Impressionism art movement. This artwork depicts a parrot caretaker, clad in a blue jacket and hat, surrounded by vibrantly colored parrots, providing a glimpse into a day at the Artis, presumably referring to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. The caretaker appears engaged in feeding or interacting with one of the birds perched on a tree branch, while others cling to his pants, adding an element of liveliness and movement to the scene. The Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushwork and the emphasis on light and color, effectively capturing the fleeting moments of this everyday activity. In the background, other figures can be discerned, contributing to the dynamic atmosphere of the park setting.
