The Bathers (Les Grandes Baigneuses) is an oil painting by Paul Cezanne. The painting is the largest of a series of "Bather" paintings by Cezanne. Occasionally referred to as the Big Bathers or Large Bathers to distinguish it from the smaller works; the painting is considered one of the masterpieces of modern art, and is often considered Cezanne's finest work. The abstract nude females present in Large Bathers give the painting tension and density. The painting was featured in the BBC Two series 100 Great Paintings. The painting was purchased in 1937 for $110,000 with funds from a trust fund for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, United States.
