Les Baigneuses 1916

James Ensor's "Les Baigneuses" (1916) depicts a group of nude women bathing in a stream, surrounded by a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Ensor, a Belgian artist known for his fantastical and often satirical works, portrays the figures with a sense of serenity and mystery. The soft pastel tones and hazy background contribute to the ethereal quality of the scene. This painting is a testament to Ensor's mastery of color and form, and reflects his fascination with the human figure and the power of the imagination.
