EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil on panel painting, titled "Bathing Men," is a captivating work by the French artist Pierre-Jacques Volaire. The scene depicts a group of naked men enjoying the pleasures of the Mediterranean coastline. The men are shown in various poses, some diving off the cliff into the clear blue waters, while others relax on the rocky shore or swim near a quaint cottage. In the background, sailing ships can be seen transporting goods across the sea, adding to the bustling activity of the scene. The painting, which is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world during the eighteenth century. Volaire masterfully captures the vibrant colors and textures of the coastline, from the rugged cliffs and clear waters to the sun-kissed skin of the bathing men. The painting also showcases the architectural heritage of the time, with the quaint cottages and buildings perched on the clifftop. The painting, which is believed to have been created between mid and late 18th century, is a prime example of the artist's skill and talent. Pierre-Jacques Volaire, also known as Chevalier Volaire or Jacques-Antoine Volaire, was a renowned French painter who specialized in marine and landscape paintings. This work is a true masterpiece of the artist's oeuvre and a must-see for anyone interested in the art and history of the 18th century.
