Paul Cezanne - Bathers '(les grandes baigneuses)
Paul Cezanne 1839-1906
Around 200 of Cézanne’s works depict male and female nude bathers, either singly or in groups, in a landscape. The earliest dates from the 1870s. This large painting is one of three pictures of female bathers that Cézanne worked on during the final decade of his life. The largest of all his paintings, they represent the culmination of his lifelong investigation of this subject and the climax of his entire career. They were hugely influential on early twentieth-century modern art, particularly Cubism, and had a lasting impact on Picasso and Matisse.
The precise dating of the pictures is difficult. It’s possible that Cézanne worked simultaneously on all three canvases, beginning in the mid-1890s and continuing until his death in 1906, as each shows evidence of reworking. The first of the three, possibly begun in 1895 and of a similar size to the National Gallery’s picture, is now in the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia. The National Gallery’s painting is generally acknowledged to be the second to have been started. It may date from 1898–9 and was finished in 1905. As he worked on the picture, Cézanne decided to reduce the area of sky and folded the top of the canvas over the stretcher on which it was mounted, which only became apparent when the picture was re-stretched long after his death. The third picture is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and relates most closely to the work in the National Gallery. Perhaps painted relatively quickly in the last months of Cézanne’s life, it was left unfinished with areas of canvas still showing through.
