Five Bathers 1878

"Five Bathers" (1878) by Paul Cézanne is a quintessential example of the artist's later style, characterized by simplified forms and bold brushstrokes. Depicting five nude women in a landscape setting, the painting showcases Cézanne's exploration of structure and form. His signature use of color, with vibrant greens and browns, adds depth and texture to the scene, while the figures themselves are rendered in a fragmented yet expressive manner. This work, now housed in the Musée Picasso in Paris, exemplifies Cézanne's contribution to the development of modern art.
