From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Bathing Nymphs in a Landscape is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows three figures in a dim, rocky landscape. Two women sit by a shallow stream, one draped in a red cloth, the other naked. A third figure stands nearby, holding what looks like a staff. The background is dark and shadowy, with a faint glow coming from an opening in the cave behind them. The contrast between light and dark makes the figures stand out sharply. The artist used deep shadows to create a sense of depth and mystery in the scene. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting technique works.
