1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Bathers (Large Plate) is a 1896 by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows four bare-chested figures in a rocky, outdoor setting. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, blending earthy greens, browns, and whites. One person sits on a rock, another crouches nearby, and two others stand in the background. The scene feels rough and unfinished, with uneven strokes and no sharp details. The figures look like they’re resting or bathing, but their poses are simple and not polished. The background has jagged rocks and a sky that’s mostly white with faint strokes of color. If you like this style, check out Impressionism for more paintings with loose brushwork.
Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
