Landscape with Bathing Nudes is a 1650 oil by Cornelius van Poelenburgh, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows a group of people, some clothed and some not, in a natural setting. The scene is set in a rocky, hilly area with trees and a blue sky with clouds. In the foreground, several people are gathered near a body of water. Some are standing, while others are sitting or lying down. The figures are depicted in various poses, with some looking at each other and others gazing off into the distance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene.

Cornelis van Poelenburgh or Cornelis van Poelenburch (1594 – 12 August 1667), was a Dutch landscape painter and draughtsman.
