Italian forest landscape with bathers is a 1700 oil by Cornelis Huysmans, a Barbizon school work, held at Städel Museum.
The painting depicts a lush forest landscape with a group of people bathing in a stream. The scene is set in a dense, green forest with towering trees and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, several figures are shown bathing, while others are standing or sitting on the riverbank. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The trees and foliage are rendered in shades of green, while the sky is a soft blue with white clouds. The figures in the foreground are painted in warm, earthy tones. This painting is a beautiful example of a landscape scene from the 17th century.
