The artwork titled “The Bathers” was created by Childe Hassam in 1904. It is part of the Impressionism art movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork depicts several nude female figures situated in a serene outdoor setting. They are dispersed across a rocky and verdant landscape that gently slopes toward a body of water. The vibrant and dynamic brushstrokes characteristic of the Impressionist style are evident in the rendering of the foliage, the water, and the sky. The figures appear to be engaging in various leisure activities, such as conversing or contemplating nature. The color palette is dominated by soothing greens and blues, creating an impression of tranquility and natural beauty. The inclusion of detailed natural elements, such as the trees and rocks, further enhances the idyllic and pastoral atmosphere of the scene.
