About the piece

Created in 1911 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a leading figure of the Die Brücke movement, this painting captures a group of bathers in a moment of leisure and liberation. The work exemplifies German Expressionism through its non-naturalistic use of color, simplified angular forms, and a sense of primal harmony with the natural world.
