Bathing Men is a 1907 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a group of nude men standing in shallow water, with a few figures in the background. The men are shown in various poses, some with their arms raised or bent at the elbows. The water is depicted in shades of blue and green, with waves gently lapping at the shore. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture and impasto in some areas. The colors are muted, with a focus on blues and greens to convey a sense of calmness. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a harmonious and natural way. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Edvard Munch, who was known for his expressive and emotive depictions of the human figure.
