About this artwork

Puvis de Chavannes painted this as a smaller version of a mural of the same subject made for the Hôtel de Ville in Paris, where it has a companion piece called Winter. Here, bathers gather by a river beneath trees, while figures sit in a boat. The forms are simplified and flattened, and the colours are pale, giving the scene a dreamlike quality. A writer of the time saw it as full of joy, happiness and rest. Artists such as Seurat, Gauguin and Picasso were influenced by his anti-naturalistic style.

On your wall: Its pale, gentle tones and tranquil river scene suit calm spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners or quiet hallways.

About Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes was a French painter best known for his murals, which led to him being called "the painter for France". He was a prominent figure in the early Third Republic and co-founded the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, serving as its president. His work influenced other artists, and he also offered designs and suggestions to medallists.
