About the piece
Created in 1890, James Ensor’s 'The Baths at Ostend' is a masterpiece of social satire. The Belgian artist captures the chaotic energy of the seaside resort, filling the composition with a sea of figures, bathing huts, and humorous vignettes, all under the gaze of a radiant, smiling sun.
