Bathers 1902

"Bathers" (1902) by Paul Gauguin, depicts a serene Tahitian scene. The painting showcases Gauguin's signature Synthetist style, with bold, flat colors and simplified forms. A central female figure, standing in a white pareo, dominates the composition, while a child and a goat add a sense of innocence and tranquility. The scene is set against a vibrant backdrop of a tropical landscape, with lush foliage and a calming blue sea. The artist's interest in Tahitian culture and his use of vibrant colors are central to the painting's impact.
