About the piece

Painted in 1897 during his final years in the South Seas, Paul Gauguin’s 'The Bathers' exemplifies his transition toward a more decorative and symbolic style. The work uses a bold, non-naturalistic palette of tropical hues to evoke a sense of primitive mystery and rhythmic harmony, capturing a serene moment in a stylized Tahitian setting.
