About the piece
Painted in 1912 by French artist Paul Émile Chabas, 'September Morn' is an iconic example of Academic classicism. The work is celebrated for its ethereal, shimmering light and soft palette, capturing a bather in the cooling waters of Lake Annecy at the break of day. It remains one of the most famous and widely reproduced images of the early 20th century.
