From classical Arcadia to the 20th century · The body reinvented in the landscape
Ingres, Bouguereau, Cézanne, Pissarro, Valadon and Matisse transform the bath into a laboratory of the nude, light and modern construction.
The theme of bathers runs through the history of Western painting by connecting the nude, water and landscape. Heirs of ancient Venuses, nymphs and mythological scenes of the Renaissance, the figures in the bath first make it possible to represent the body outside the everyday world. In the 19th century, Ingres sought a pure and silent line in the Bather of Valpinçon, while Bouguereau pushed the academic model towards pearly perfection. The impressionists then move the subject towards real light: Pissarro installs the figure in the woods, in contact with air and foliage. With Cézanne, bathers become a structural problem; bodies, trees and skies are built together, often from memory rather than the living model. Suzanne Valadon gives women a robust, active presence, freed from the idealistic gaze. Matisse crosses a new threshold with Les Baigneurs à la rivière, taken up between 1909 and 1917: the initial idyll metamorphoses into monumental bands and geometric shapes. From Ensor to Modersohn-Becker, the theme still welcomes satire, strangeness and youth. This collection thus makes it possible to follow the same scene from the academic ideal to the radical inventions of modernity.
