Bathers 1883 - 1884

"Bathers" is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Georges Seurat, created between 1883 and 1884. This painting depicts a scene of leisure at a river or lake, capturing bathers in the water and onlookers on the bank. Seurat's use of short, distinct brushstrokes, known as pointillism, contributes to the vibrant, yet subtly colored, composition. While not an explicitly political piece, it reflects the rise of leisure activities in 19th-century France.
