The Bathers Painting in the Manner of Paul Cezanne

About the Item

A fine painting depicting Les Grandes Baigneuses in the manner of Paul Cezanne's famous works of art. This beautiful painting was executed by an artist from Toulon named Marius Fely-Mouttet as noted on the back of the antique canvas. About this artist: Marius Fely-Mouttet (1893-1953) was a very talented painter. He exhibited at The Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris. A first exhibition with the name was held in 1939 in Galerie Charpentier, organised by Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Nelly van Doesburg and Fredo Sidès. His works have sold at various galleries and auctions around the world. In the manner of Cézanne: Around 200 of Cézanne’s works depict male and female nude bathers, either singly or in groups, in a landscape. This large painting is one of three pictures of female bathers that Cézanne worked on during the final decade of his life. They represent the culmination of his lifelong investigation of this subject and the climax of his entire career, and were hugely influential on early twentieth-century art. The subject of women relaxing in a woodland glade beneath an azure sky draws on a classical tradition of pastoral scenes of nude or semi-nude figures in an idealized landscape. More particularly, it recalls pictures of bathing nymphs and goddesses, especially the mythological scenes of Venetian Renaissance art. However, Cézanne’s painting has no clear narrative or literary source. The composition, which echoes the pyramidal base of a mountain, as well as the use of color, serves to integrate the women with the landscape. Cézanne’s last paintings might perhaps be seen as his final celebration of nature and our union with it.
