Discover the Masterpiece of Impressionism at The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum
Jean Frédéric Bazille, a French artist and one of the most important exponents of the “new painting” that gave rise to impressionism, created the masterpiece Bathers (Summer Scene) in 1869. This oil on canvas painting is now housed at The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, where you can admire its beauty and learn about its historical significance.
A Brightly Colored Impressionist Painting
Bathers (Summer Scene) is a brightly colored impressionist painting that captures the essence of summer. The scene depicts young men dressed in swimsuits having a leisurely day along the banks of a river near Méric. Bazille achieved the look he wanted for the painting by first drawing the human figures in his Paris studio and then transporting the drawings to the outdoor setting.
The Birth of Impressionism
Bathers (Summer Scene) is an excellent example of impressionism, a movement that emerged in France in the late 19th century. The movement was characterized by its focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in the natural world. Bazille's painting showcases these qualities, with its loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors that capture the essence of a summer day.
