About the piece

Painted in 1910, Verner Thomé's 'Bathing Boys' is a masterful example of Finnish post-impressionism. Utilizing a divisionist technique, Thomé translates the warmth and light of a summer day at the shore into a shimmering tapestry of blue, yellow, and violet, capturing a sense of youthful freedom and movement.
