The Bathers

Title: The Bathers
Rights: The Louvre Museum, Public Domain.
Creator: Jean Honore Fragonard
Date: 1763-1764
Description: Using luscious greens and blues in contrast with the pale, pink, and reds of the flesh of the five women, Fragonard creates a beautifully dynamic scene. All four women are nude in what seems like a fantasy land. One splashes in the water, while another raises her hands. This is clearly an erotic scene, as all women are nude.
Format: Painting. Oil on Canvas.
