Bathers 1877

Paul Cézanne's "Bathers" (1877) is a small oil painting depicting three nude figures in a lush, green landscape. This painting is characteristic of Cézanne's later work, which emphasizes geometric form and simplified brushstrokes. The figures are depicted in a stylized manner, with their bodies reduced to basic shapes and their features blurred. The strong, vibrant greens and yellows of the foliage create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This intimate portrayal of the human form within nature is a testament to Cézanne's innovative approach to painting and his profound influence on the development of modern art.
