Paul Cézanne: Bathers at Rest (Baigneurs au repos), Paul Cézanne, 1876–1877, Oil on canvas, The blocky peak in the background is Mont Sainte-Victoire, which towers over the Aix region of France, and which Paul Cézanne would paint at least two dozen times. When Cézanne exhibited this painting at the third impressionist exhibition in 1877, critics were unkind. They complained about the aggressively strange anatomies—one figure's hands appear red and paw-like—and about the unclear relationships between the bathers, none of whom seem to interact., Overall: 32 5/16 x 39 7/8 in. (82 x cm)
