OIL PAINTING: The Large Bathers, 1887
This painting - The Bathers , was painted in 1887 , and here Pierre Auguste Renoir shows his ideal of how a female body should lookelike.
We should keep in mind that these ideas were considered normal at the time because it was considered attractive for women to be "lazy, sexual playthings". Such images of women we will often see in other Renoir paintings, in his series of Bathers or Seated women arranging their hair.
