Bathing Men is a 1907 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows three men in the water. They are all naked, with one man in the foreground and two others behind him. The men are painted in yellow, with their faces and bodies simplified into basic shapes. The background is a mix of blues and greens, with some darker shapes that might be trees or rocks. The painting has a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and rough textures. The colors are muted, but there's a sense of energy and movement in the way the paint is applied.
