Bathers by Paul Cézanne (1875)

Paul Cézanne's "Bathers" (1875) is an exemplary work that showcases the artist's transition from Impressionism to a more structured form of painting, which would later influence the development of modern art. Created using oil on canvas, this piece is part of a series where Cézanne explored the theme of bathers, a subject that he revisited throughout his career. The painting is notable for its use of color and form, emphasizing the harmony between the figures and the landscape. Cézanne's approach to composition and his departure from traditional perspective laid the groundwork for the emergence of Cubism.

His innovative techniques and dedication to capturing the essence of nature have cemented his legacy as a foundational figure in the transition to 20th-century art.
