Bathers (1902-1906) by Paul Cezanne

The picture is named after one of its element: Bathers, But they’re not really bathers. They are women, and there is water but whatever they’re doing, they aren’t obviously swimming or washing.

It is the best paintings produced during the last decade of Cezanne’s life.

He was borne at Aix-en-Provence, Cezanne is one of the most famous french artists and is known as a ‘post impressionist’ which was similar in some ways to impression but also broke away from some of it limitations.
