EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the shores of St. Tropez in 1893, where artist Henri-Edmond Cross skillfully captures a moment of tranquil intimacy. The subject of the painting is a bather, caught in mid-action as he dries himself off after a refreshing dip in the sea. With his body bathed in warm sunlight and surrounded by lush greenery, the scene exudes an air of serenity and natural beauty. The bather's gaze is directed downwards towards his loyal companion - a faithful dog patiently waiting nearby. This subtle inclusion adds an element of companionship and loyalty to the composition, reminding us that even amidst moments of personal care and solitude, we can find solace in our connection with others. Cross employs neo-impressionist techniques to create a vibrant interplay between light and color throughout the artwork. Each brushstroke carefully placed side by side creates an optical effect that enhances our perception of depth and movement within the scene. As our eyes wander across this stunning print, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless charm. It serves as both a celebration of human vulnerability and resilience while also inviting us to appreciate nature's ability to heal and rejuvenate us. This remarkable piece now resides at Petit Palais in Geneva, Switzerland – serving as a testament to Cross' artistic genius for generations to come.
