Bathing Boys
View through Europeana Collections
Turning to the themes of childhood and early adolescence as reflections of the spring of life and interest in the biological growing processes in both man and nature was a characteristic tendency in art at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The impressionistic approach to the depiction of light and atmosphere in Johans Valters’ study “Bathing Boys” demonstrates an intuitively used combination of the current stylistic tendencies of the age. The artist has transformed and everyday subject – three boys swimming – into a poetic experience in which sun, water and man have merged into a single whole.
