# Baigneuses

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), First half of the 20th century.

An unusually panoramic bathing scene disperses small figures across a strip of water and dense woodland. The compressed format gives Luce's later naturalism a decorative, frieze-like calm.
