This is the largest canvas Cézanne ever painted, and the fabulous culmination of the "Bathers" series. The painting is reminiscent of some Titian's finest paintings, such as the "Bacchanal of the Andrians", while the almost sculptorical representation of the human body link this canvas with some of Michelangelo's frescoes at the Vatican. Two other "finished" "Bathers" paintings exist, one in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the other in the National Gallery, London.
